Fukuoka International Airport Co. announced that renovation and expansion work on its international terminal will be completed on December 20, concluding a project that began in 2022. A new 810-square-meter duty-free food zone—three times the size of the temporary area—will open on November 18, featuring 57 brands including local specialties such as sweets, mentaiko, and ramen. The updated departure lounge will include more seating, charging points, and Japanese-style design features. The completion follows a surge in profits after the second runway opened in March. The airport aims to welcome 10 million international passengers annually by fiscal 2028. Source: Fukuoka Airport / Fukuoka Airport 2
