The new cargo bay will cover an area of 1,240 m2, more than twice the area of the existing bay, bringing the total floor area to 2,115 m2. Although passenger flights dwindled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, international cargo volume hit a record high for the fourth consecutive year, reaching nearly 20,000 tons last fiscal year, mainly due to an increase in scheduled cargo flights to and from South Korea. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiba.jp\/archives\/2022\/date\/october\/7494\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FIBA<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-149590\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fnn_kitakyushu-airport-cargo-bay_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1194%2C628&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kitakyushu Airport Adds Cargo Bay\" width=\"1194\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fnn_kitakyushu-airport-cargo-bay_2022_cl.jpg?w=1194&amp;ssl=1 1194w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fnn_kitakyushu-airport-cargo-bay_2022_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C158&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fnn_kitakyushu-airport-cargo-bay_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C539&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fnn_kitakyushu-airport-cargo-bay_2022_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C404&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pref.fukuoka.lg.jp\/site\/chiji-top\/kkj-rakuseisiki.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fukuoka Prefecture news release<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English regularly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
