Chubu International Airport (Japanese: 中部国際空港), also known as Central Japan International Airport (CENTRAIR, Japanese: セントレア), is an airport being constructed on an artificial island in Ise Bay, Tokoname City in Aichi Prefecture, south of Nagoya, Japan. It is named after the surrounding Chubu region. It will open on February 17, 2005. As a replacement of the current Nagoya Airport, it is proposed that it will inherit its IATA airport code NGO. Its ICAO airport code will be RJGG.
Chubu will be Japan's third off-shore airport, after Nagasaki Airport and Kansai International Airport in Osaka. When it is completed in February of 2005, it will take over all of the existing Nagoya Airport's commercial flights. The airport's opening is being timed to coincide with the Expo 2005 in Aichi Prefecture.
The construction started August 2003, with a budget of 768 billion yen.
Main Terminal
The main terminal is shaped like a "T," with three piers radiating from a central ticketing area. This design keeps check-in to aircraft distances below 300 meters. Originally, designers planned to make the main terminal resemble an origami crane from above, but this plan was abandoned due to cost.
Arrivals will be processed on the second floor, and departures on the third: the lower level will be used for maintenance, catering, and other ground operations, as well as for passenger buses to hardstands in the middle of the apron.
