Five years after completing its bus lounge, Chubu Centrair International Airport will finally make the bus service available to the public starting from the Golden Week holidays next spring.

The airport in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, built the facility to take international passengers to their planes in March 2009 but saw it go unused due to a drop in demand.

Next year, airlines will begin offering direct flights to Southeast Asia and other regions from the airport, setting the bus lounge up for some action when business picks up.
