• Airport management is top agenda, as investment in airport development has become the final phase

• Japan’s stable growth rate leads austerity measures

Flexibility

• Ensuring user-friendly airport management for competitiveness of airports

• Meeting local demand for revitalizing local economy by attracting more tourists etc. at the midst of aging society

managed by NKIAC, which equity is totally funded by government,

○ NKIAC takes the hub airport strategy by attracting Japan’s LCCs and US’s FedEX etc.

Unite “air-side” and “land-side” operation and management

Managing income & cost enables each airport to set landing charge accordingly

Future

Landing charges on 27 airports are uniform nationwide and managed in one account

Current

National airports’ approach for enhancement of management

Preparing framework for concessions of the whole or a part of 27 “National Airports”

by providing the airport management rights to private sectors

Key Objective • To make airport operation more flexible, based on diverse characteristics of each airport,

extracting expertise from private sectors through concession

Key Drivers • To make each airport more attractive, revitalizing local communities

• To increase number of flights and visitors to each airport, expanding aviation network

• To increase competitiveness and efficiency by improving non-aeronautical business
