Kansai Airports has established a new “nighttime noise suppression fee,” effective from April 1, to address delayed flights that operate beyond Itami Airport’s regular operating hours.
This fee will be collected from delayed flights that are exceptionally permitted to land or take off outside of regular hours due to unavoidable reasons not attributed to the airlines.
An amount equivalent to twice the normal landing fee will be charged separately from the original landing fee. Both departing and arriving flights are subject to this fee, and the proceeds are planned to be used for projects that benefit the local community around the airport. The occurrence of delayed flights will be published on the website the day following the event.
Emergency rescue operations, diplomatic or official usage, urgent news coverage, emergency landings declared under emergency situations, or other cases deemed necessary in terms of urgency and public interest are exempt from this fee.
