Fukuoka Airport International Terminal Grand Opening on March 28, 2025
Fukuoka International Airport announces the grand opening of the Fukuoka Airport International Terminal on March 28, 2025.
Since May 2022, expansion and renovation works have been underway, including the extension of the north concourse, the addition of boarding bridges, the construction of a new multistory car park, the renovation of lounges, the addition of automatic check-in machines, and the introduction of automatic baggage drop machines. In December, the usage of an access hall and an exclusive lane for internal link buses will start.
At the time of the grand opening, security screening areas and international departure inspection areas will be relocated and expanded. The security screening will introduce seven ‘Smart Lanes’ and for the first time in Kyushu’s airports, a ‘Priority Lane’ for expedited security checks will be established. The processing capacity is expected to double, with the ability to expand up to a maximum of 11 lanes.
In the restricted area, a walk-through duty-free shop about four times larger than the existing one, covering about 6,000 square meters, will be unveiled. Additionally, eight stores offering the taste of Kyushu and Fukuoka’s food culture and a food court with 295 seats will be featured. An arrival duty-free shop will also be established.
