Kitakyushu Airport’s passenger numbers rose to 1.17 million last fiscal year, a 40% increase from the previous year, reflecting recovery post-COVID-19. Domestic flight users increased, and international flights resumed in May, with 95,000 passengers. However, cargo volume dropped by 30%, attributed to global demand decline. Yamato Holdings began operating cargo-only flights in April, and measures are in place to boost semiconductor-related cargo. Source: NHK
