New Chitose Airport Completes Instrument Landing System Renewal Work Ahead of Schedule

The Civil Aviation Bureau of Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has completed the regular renewal work on the instrument landing system (ILS) at New Chitose Airport on December 18.

Although the construction period was initially scheduled to run from August 7 to March 1, 2026, the work was completed ahead of schedule.

A higher-performance system than standard equipment, which allows aircraft to land even in poor visibility, had been installed and required periodic renewal. During the renewal work, a standard ILS was installed as a replacement system, but the conditions required for landing were somewhat stricter compared to normal operations.
