KIX To Conduct Drill to Prepare for Flood Season

Kansai Airports announced that it will conduct a drill to prepare for flood season at Kansai
International Airport (KIX) on Friday, June 17, 2022.

This year, the training will be conducted under the assumption that customers would have to
spend the night at the airport due to the suspension of access services caused by a direct hit by
a typhoon. The training will focus on enhancing care for customers staying at the airport,
including during the night. In addition to setting up counters quicky for response to stranded
people, we will digitize and verify an "emergency information card" to ensure that customers are treated appropriately according to the priority and language. This system will simplify the
registration process and provide reliable and timely information by using QR codes projected on digital display in the airport and allowing people to operate on their own mobile terminals.

This will help to reduce the stress of customers in the event of a disaster, as well as to provide an efficient, non-contact response to customers. Through these drills, we aim to raise awareness of disaster prevention among airport employees and check appropriate procedures, thereby ensuring safe airport operations.

Kansai Airports Group will continue to ensure the safety of our customers' travel and create an
environment that allows them to use the airport with peace of mind.
