Kansai Airports will begin phasing in a new pricing scheme for stand charges and the landing fee discount program for international passenger flights using Kansai International Airport (KIX) Terminal 1 in Japan, starting November 1.
To expand airport capacity amid expected growth in air travel demand, the operator will improve the operating efficiency of international stands at Terminal 1 by setting stand charges according to each stand’s demand and the duration of parking.
Under the current scheme, off-peak stand charges are 15 yen per 15 minutes × maximum takeoff weight (MTOW), while for international passenger flights at Terminal 1 during peak hours they are 25 yen per 15 minutes × MTOW. Landing fees are discounted only during late-night/early-morning hours by 950 yen × MTOW. Under the new system, the basic stand charge will be 1 yen per minute × MTOW. For international passenger boarding bridge spots at Terminal 1 during peak hours only, the rate will be 250 yen per minute for the first year, and 500 yen per minute thereafter. The free-parking time will also be revised.
The free-parking allowance will be reduced as well: previously it was 150 minutes for twin-aisle aircraft, 90 minutes for others, and 360 minutes for other cases; at international boarding bridge spots it will be shortened to 90 minutes for twin-aisle aircraft and 60 minutes for others.
Landing fee discounts will also be expanded. When using international boarding bridge spots at Terminal 1, a discount of 40 yen × MTOW will apply for the first year, and 100 yen × MTOW thereafter. When using remote stands, a discount of 950 yen × MTOW will apply.
