Narita Airport to seek approval for land acquisition as new runway timeline slips
Based on · First reported
Sources
- Narita Airport Authority (NAA) announced it will apply for business approval to acquire land in December and will hold explanatory meetings in three local towns during October and November.
- The authority plans to extend the existing B runway by 1,000 metres and construct a new C runway about 3,500 metres long, but 99 of the 1,099 hectares required for the new runway have not yet been acquired and 51 hectares remain uncontracted, pushing the C runway’s completion beyond the originally scheduled March 2029.
Why it matters
The delay in securing land and completing the new runway could affect Narita’s capacity growth and scheduling for airlines operating there.
