International Flight Grand Opening March 28th (Fri)
The grand opening date for International Passenger Terminal Building, which is currently undergoing expansion and renovation, has been set for Friday, March 28, 2025.
The expansion and reconstruction work has expanded the facilities so far, including extending the concourse, adding passenger boarding bridges, building a new multi-storey car park, and renovating the lounge, as well as adding more Automated Check-in Machine and introducing self-service baggage drop machines. In December, the access hall (expanding the arrival lobby and improving the transfer environment to secondary transport) and the dedicated road for domestic and international shuttle buses will be opened, and the grand opening will finally take place in March of next year.
About the Grand Opening
The expanded facility, which will include Security Check Point, immigration inspection area, duty-free shops, a food court, and immigration inspection area, is scheduled to have a grand opening on Friday, March 28, 2025.
About Security Check Point
By expanding Security Check Point and introducing Smart Lane, we will approximately double the processing capacity, making inspections smoother and more stress-free.
Smart Lane
- Up to four people can get ready at the same time, and those who are ready can proceed to security first.
- Trays carrying baggage will be carried automatically, so there is no need for customers to carry them themselves.
- Using an X-ray CT inspection device, the computer can be inspected without having to be removed.
- By allocating baggage that requires re-inspection to a separate lane, inspected baggage can be collected more smoothly.
- After being returned, the trays are automatically transported to the entrance side (automatic tray return).
About departure duty-free shops
The duty-free shop area will be expanded by about four times (to about 6,000 m2), and the range of products available will be significantly expanded, including fashion, cosmetics, and alcohol. In addition, the duty-free shops will be located along the route of passengers, creating a walk-through style of store, allowing passengers to enjoy duty-free shopping while moving around after passing through passport control.
*Details such as participating brands will be announced at a later date.
*Food (confectionery), miscellaneous goods, home appliances, etc. will continue to be sold at the current store.
About the food court
A new food court will be established in the duty-free shop area so that passengers can take their time enjoying Kyushu and Fukuoka cuisine after passing through immigration. The food court will have a wide variety of stores, including restaurants where passengers can experience the food culture of Fukuoka and Kyushu before departing. With the addition of eight restaurants, the number of restaurants in the area after passing through immigration will be three times as many as before the renovation.
*Details about participating restaurants will be announced at a later date.
About Arrival Duty Free Shops
A new arrival duty-free shop will be opened in the baggage claim area so that customers can enjoy great value duty-free shopping when they enter the country. Customers departing from Japan can enjoy stress-free travel without having to carry around duty-free items, and then enjoy great value shopping when they return home.
*The arrival duty-free shop mainly sells alcohol and tobacco.
*Details such as participating brands will be announced at a later date.
