Fukuoka International Airport in Japan will complete the expansion and renovation of the Fukuoka Airport International Terminal in December.
On November 18, it will open a duty-free confectionery and food area, and on December 20 it will renew the boarding lounge. With this, the construction work that has been underway since May 2022 will be completed.
The duty-free confectionery and food area will be about three times larger than before and will feature eight dedicated sections for popular souvenir sweets among inbound travelers to Japan. The product lineup will expand significantly, adding items from 14 new brands, including Fukuoka-origin specialties such as Kubarahonke and Tirolian. Online sales of duty-free items will also resume to coincide with the opening.
The boarding lounge remodels the existing concourse to create a cohesive space with the northern concourse of the extension that opened in 2023. The design evokes the character of Fukuoka and Japan, featuring a wood-look ceiling inspired by the engawa (veranda) of traditional Japanese houses and a tsuboniwa-style courtyard area with plantings representing the four seasons. Seating will also be increased by about 300 seats.
