Fukuoka International Airport will start operating its new access hall, which includes a bus terminal function for the International Terminal, and a dedicated road for shuttle buses on the international side, on December 3.
The access hall features a dynamic ceiling design using materials produced in Fukuoka Prefecture, and benches decorated with Okawa kumiko, creating a space where visitors can experience the ambiance of Fukuoka, Japan. The arrival lobby has been expanded to about three times its original size, improving the waiting environment and enhancing services necessary during departure and arrival, including bus terminal functions.
Passengers using express buses or local buses can now spend time indoors until departure. Boarding gates are equipped with platform doors for safety, and operational information is provided in real time through digital displays and audio announcements. Also, service facilities such as information desks, bus information counters, foreign currency exchange, courier services, and Wi-Fi rental are consolidated, along with cafes, food and beverage outlets, and convenience stores to enhance convenience.
The international side of the shuttle bus that connects the domestic and international terminals has been designated as a dedicated road, reducing the travel time between terminals. Additionally, the internal road system has been improved, separating bus and taxi lanes from general vehicle lanes and establishing new drop-off zones for general vehicles.
In line with the runway extension project, Fukuoka International Airport is undergoing renovation and expansion of its International Terminal. A grand opening of an expanded security checkpoint, new duty-free shops, and a food court is scheduled for March 2025.
