Presentation
Airport city concept in line with airport expansion
A third runway and terminal realignment are planned for Narita Airport from 2029 onward. After the works, the number of flights and passengers will almost double. The number of employees is also expected to increase from 40,000 to 70,000. On the other hand, the areas surrounding the airport are currently experiencing a decline in population due to falling birth rates and an aging population. Using the airport expansion, NAA has started to study the airport city development to achieve integrated growth of the airport and surrounding areas, with a focus on building a town where airport employees live.
