When Japan\u2019s Kansai International Airport (KIX) opened in 1994, it was considered an engineering marvel. It is the world\u2019s only truly floating airport and required an investment of more than $20bn to construct.<\/p>\n

Thirty years later, Kansai has become a hub for many major airlines and freight carriers. In 2025, it will be served by almost 70 different passenger carriers and over 20 cargo airlines.<\/p>\n
