Kansaі Airport

1. The passenger terminal building at the Kansai Airport was designed by a consortium of French, Italian and Japanese companies, and incorporates a terminal concept proposed by the Aeroports de Paris. The design provides for a fourth (top) level for international departures (including check-in and security), a third level for immigration and an international departure concourse, a second level for domestic arrivals and departures and a lower level for international arrivals.

2. Two long wings stretch out from the terminal building giving the structure a total length of l,6(S0 meters. The passengers for international flights are shuttled to and from two stations in each of the wings with an automated guideway transportation shuttle system. The terminal has a total of 41 gate, positions, 30 for international flights in the total lateral wings and 11 for domestic flights closer to the center of the terminal building. The opening of the airport affected traffic flows considerably because Kansai is the only major gateway in Japan with easy transfers between domestic and international flights.
