It's one of the world's most impressive airports. Located in Osaka, Japan, this engineering marvel is none other than Kansai International Airport. Opened in 1994, it was built on an immense artificial island.
With over 30 million passengers in 2019, the airport is today an essential gateway for national and international air traffic. It will be Osaka's showcase and gateway in 2025, when the Japanese city hosts the next World Expo. However, from its construction to its recent renovation, this infrastructure has always had to reinvent itself to avoid disappearing, between the risks of sinking and financial problems... A turbulent history that is far from over, as we'll see today, in this new episode of Looking 4.

I flew into Kansai Kukou in 1994 when it first opened. It was bright and inviting, especially when compared to Itami Kukou which is located much closer to the Osaka city center. Itami is still used for domestic flights. Japan is space-constrained not only because it's an island, but also because much of the country is mountainous.

The overly-dramatic title is misleading. Look at a map of Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Kurashiki, Hiroshima, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, and many others. Look at all the straight coastlines and square islands just offshore - all of this is reclaimed land. This does subside under the weight placed upon it and Kansai Airport was designed with this in mind, hence the engineering solution in place. Sure the amount of subsidence is more than anticipated, but this can be handled and there is no race against time.

Having used Kansai kukou numerous times I can say that it’s a very nice airport but claims of 24 hour service are untrue as access via public transport essentially stops overnight. There is a limited bus service but it’s only a local one. So some passengers elect to sleep in the lounge areas. Many LCC have late arrival times and there is a rush to catch the last train or highway bus to Osaka.

There was a brilliant multi episode documentary series made at the time on the building of Kansai airport & originally shown on Channel 4 in the UK...It featured the design & architecture (& Renzo Piano's fabulous hill-side design studios), the construction (including a supervisor from the British company William Hare Structural Steel living deep in Sakai on his own & not speaking a word of Japanese...!?!) & so much of the Japanese engineering techniques...It was a brilliant series....👌👌👌

"A fragile jewel in the crown of global aviation." That's worth a like for sure. Do you work in advertising? you might have a career there. Great video. I used to live in that metropolis. I can contribute that this project, at the time, was the deepest artificial landfill operation in the world. All that weight tends to crush the layers below. Soil scientists get paid big $$$ to understand the behavior of these materials. A Japanese soil scientist told me that the location was chosen in consideration of aircraft noise, but that much quieter engines had been developed in the meantime, allowing the airport to have potentially been built in a shallower part of Osaka Bay, closer to land. Also, FYI, due to the shared airspace, for each plane that lands at the Kobe airport, one less lands at Kansai airport.

To be more accurate, the airport is not sinking; its underground base is. The reason why the airport is not sinking is that the pillars between the airport and the underground base are being lengthened regularly (until the compression of the sedimentary layer undersea stops).

The recent renovations have been to the detriment of passengers, with much space that was previously afforded to travellers now being assigned to retail outlets. Arrivals used to be a breeze (my personal record for landing and exiting the airport building was less than 20 minutes) but now, with much of the arrivals space (immigration...etc) now gone, it is like most other Int'l airports with endless snaking queues and lengthy waits. I used to love KIX, but now I dread it. And no, like most other sane travellers I have no interest whatsoever in an airport "shopping experience".

Raise the steel walls corner to corner below Airport from seabed till it touches to under surface of airport. Fill this cornered regions with High density extremely thick foam . Side walls prevent foam spreading to ocean. Foam raises Airport evenlyfrom seabed. Allow water escape at clearance near seabed as foam expand it displaces water. When foam is expanding make sure it is expanding within cubical form. Making it like Foam bricks supporting Airport. Side walls shall never allow foam to escape. It shall maintain uplifting Airport upward and sinking would stop. Also if Airport raises to initial limit then anchors could be realigned to initial first mark position. This is how one can surely stop Airport sinking. Hope your goodself would pass this comment. To Japan Authority of Airports.
