OSAKA (Kyodo) Kansai International Airport Co. hopes to drum up more business by offering a new landing fee discount for domestic flights of up to 94 percent, aviation sources said Wednesday.
The new discount is aimed at making flight connections between domestic and international flights at the offshore airport in Osaka Bay more convenient and at attracting more airlines because the airport is expected to face competition from Central Japan International Airport, which opens next month in Aichi Prefecture, and Kobe Airport, which opens in 2006 in Hyogo Prefecture, the sources said.
The discount could come into effect as early as April, they said.
