KIX to conduct a drill to prepare for flood season in fiscal 2023 

Kansai Airports announces that we will conduct a drill to prepare for flood season at Kansai International Airport (KIX) on Thursday, July 13, 2023. At this year’s drill, we will focus on multilingual support for international customers and to establish an efficient stranded customers support system, 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 drill will include familiarization trainings for the "digital emergency information cards" introduced to ensure appropriate support according to language and the priority of guidance, verifications of operability including a linkage between the "digital emergency information cards" and "DIMS*", enhancement of providing information through "DIMS*", and setting up counters of Foreign Missions in Japan (cooperated by the Osaka Liaison Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

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.
