Chubu Centrair International Airport Approved for New Runway Construction by MLIT
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has approved the facility modification application submitted by Chubu Centrair International Airport.
This approval enables the start of construction. The new runway to be constructed will be 3,290 meters long and 45 meters wide. The aim is to commence operations by March 31, 2028.
The operation of the new runway is expected to allow for continuous airport operations during major renovations of the current runway and to make 24-hour operations possible.
Chubu Centrair International Airport commented, “We have been granted permission to modify facilities related to the development of an alternative runway. During construction, we will strive for quick initiation with the understanding of local residents and the cooperation of relevant parties. Although the target is to begin operations within fiscal year 2027, we aim for realization even a day earlier.”
