Kansai Airports is pleased to showcase the new domestic area in Terminal 2 of Kansai International Airport (KIX) on 1 April 2026 as part of a major renovation project.
To celebrate the occasion, we held a tape-cutting ceremony with Representative Director and CEO Yoshiyuki Yamaya and Representative Director and Co-CEO Benoit Rulleau of Kansai Airports, along with many other KIX stakeholders.
The ongoing renovation project aims to accommodate increasing air traffic. Under a phased approach, areas are opened upon the completion of each phase. The renovated domestic area of Terminal 2 is now equipped with self-bag drop machines and smart security check lanes to streamline the flow from check-in to security screening and alleviate congestion, in anticipation of future increases in air traffic. Furthermore, the boarding lounge, where passengers wait for their flights after security screening, is now approximately 20% larger, with more charging facilities and a newly introduced food court featuring four restaurants, allowing passengers to spend their time before departure more effectively.
Kansai Airports Group will continue to work with stakeholders to create a new travel experience as a gateway to the Kansai region.
