A New Measure Against Delayed Flights at Osaka Itami Airport

Kansai Airports will implement new measures for delayed flights exceeding Osaka Itami Airport’s operating hours (9:00 p.m.) starting from April 1, 2025. 

Under these new measures, Kansai Airports will introduce a "Night-time noise control charge"for delayed flights that land or take off beyond the airport’s operating hours due to unavoidable reasons not attributable to the airline. This charge will be collected from the operating airlines. 

The revenue from this charge will be used to improve the living environment of the areas surrounding the airport. 

In addition, the update of delayed flights will be published on our website as needed. The Kansai Airports Group remains committed to creating airports that are environmentally conscious and contribute to the local community developments. 

Implementation Date: April 1, 2025 
Charge Structure: An amount equivalent to twice the landing charge will be collected as the "Night-time noise control charge” 
* This charge will be collected separately from the landing charge 
* Both departing and arriving flights will be subject to this charge 
Use of Funds: The collected charges will be used for projects aimed at improving the living environment in the areas surrounding the airport

The update of delayed flights is published on the next business day of the delays starting from April 1, 2025
