Kansai
International
Airport (KIA)

6. INTRODUCTION
• KANSAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KIA) is the first
man made offshore
• Structure in the world
• Airport was designed by an Italian architect- RENZO
PIANO
• The airport is situated in the middle of Osaka Bay as an
ARTIFICAL ISLAND
• It was the first round the clock airport in Japan
• KIA became the landmark of Japan and inspired many
more to construct offshore structures

7. History
• In the 1960s, when the Kansai region was rapidly losing trade
to Tokyo
planners proposed a new airport near Kobe and Osaka. Osaka
International Airport, located in the densely populated suburbs
of itami, and Toyonaka, was surrounded by buildings; it could
not be expanded, and many of its neighbours had filed
complaints because of noise pollution problems.
• After the protests surrounding New Tokyo International Airport
(now Narita International Airport), which was built with
expropriated land in a rural part of Chiba Prefecture, planners
decided to build the airport offshore. The new airport was part
of a number of new developments to revitalize Osaka, which
had lost economic and cultural ground to Tokyo for most of
the century.

3,500 m, a new cargo terminal and expanding the airport size to 13 km2.
