Fukuoka Airport posted record-high operating revenue of ¥58.8 billion and operating profit of ¥7.4 billion for fiscal 2024, driven by an all-time high in passenger numbers. Domestic travelers rose 4% to 18.61 million, while international passengers jumped 20% to 8.5 million, boosting income from landing fees and duty-free sales. Despite this, the airport recorded a net loss of ¥1 billion due to extraordinary expenses tied to international terminal renovations. For FY2025, the operator forecasts further revenue and profit growth, with a projected net profit of ¥1.7 billion—marking its first-ever surplus since the company’s founding in 2018. President Shinji Tagawa expressed confidence in achieving profitability while addressing a current ¥27.6 billion capital deficit. Source: NHK
