The three parties believe that they can make use of their expertise in ground handling, from the time an aircraft arrives at the airport until its departure. Sierra is preparing to use the space transporter &#8220;Dream Chaser&#8221; to transport supplies and experimental materials to the International Space Station (ISS). Oita Airport may be used as an Asian landing base for the transport ship returning to Earth from the ISS. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/press.jal.co.jp\/ja\/release\/202212\/007106.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JAL<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQOUC122CJ0S2A211C2000000\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nikkei<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-150672\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fnn_jal-oita-airport_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C940&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fnn_jal-oita-airport_2022_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fnn_jal-oita-airport_2022_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fnn_jal-oita-airport_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C688&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fnn_jal-oita-airport_2022_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C516&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/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.
