    I flew into Kansai Kukou in 1994 when it first opened. It was bright and inviting, especially when compared to Itami Kukou which is located much closer to the Osaka city center. Itami is still used for domestic flights.
    Japan is space-constrained not only because it's an island, but also because much of the country is mountainous.

      Why didn't they just mine a bunch of asteroids and pile this on top of the island. Then the island wouldn't be in danger of being inundated. The starship Enterprise could help. I'm sure Captain Picard would love to help!

    The overly-dramatic title is misleading. Look at a map of Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Kurashiki, Hiroshima, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, and many others. Look at all the straight coastlines and square islands just offshore - all of this is reclaimed land. This does subside under the weight placed upon it and Kansai Airport was designed with this in mind, hence the engineering solution in place. Sure the amount of subsidence is more than anticipated, but this can be handled and there is no race against time.

    Damn! I was a Marine stationed in Japan until 2022. Some of my favorite memories were road-tripping from Hiroshima/Iwakuni to KSI/Osaka to pick up other service members. I was mind-blown the first time I drove on the airport and realized it was an island of its own. Beautiful drive. Side note; It was also very creepy during COVID as most shops looked abandoned inside. One of the creepiest/most depressing things I saw quite honestly!

    The title is a bit misleading. If the airport was "floating", that would perhaps solve some of the problems. However, apart from the technical challenge of making such a large structure float, it would lead to other problems.

    Having used Kansai kukou numerous times I can say that it’s a very nice airport but claims of 24 hour service are untrue as access via public transport essentially stops overnight. There is a limited bus service but it’s only a local one. So some passengers elect to sleep in the lounge areas. Many LCC have late arrival times and there is a rush to catch the last train or highway bus to Osaka.

    To be more accurate, the airport is not sinking; its underground base is. The reason why the airport is not sinking is that the pillars between the airport and the underground base are being lengthened regularly (until the compression of the sedimentary layer undersea stops).

    Scale it up! We need some new bold, forward thinking leaders in construction and equipment, to create a whole new generation of tools, to build large projects bigger and faster. When mother nature scales up, so do we. Every industry needs to go to school on Space X. Dream, build, break it, learn, do it again, bigger and better! It's not a question of possible. It's a question of will and faith.

      It did happen. A major earthquake (7.3 magnitude, causing 6,000 deaths) hit the area in 1995. However, the structure did not sustain any damage. There was a plane attempting to land at the time, so they immediately checked the runways and found no damage. The plane landed safely.
      This airport actually played a very important role after the earthquake because it was undamaged, while other major transportation systems (highways and railroads) were largely useless. The airport became a distribution center for relief materials from all regions in and outside of Japan.

    "A fragile jewel in the crown of global aviation." That's worth a like for sure. Do you work in advertising? you might have a career there. Great video. I used to live in that metropolis. I can contribute that this project, at the time, was the deepest artificial landfill operation in the world. All that weight tends to crush the layers below. Soil scientists get paid big $$$ to understand the behavior of these materials. A Japanese soil scientist told me that the location was chosen in consideration of aircraft noise, but that much quieter engines had been developed in the meantime, allowing the airport to have potentially been built in a shallower part of Osaka Bay, closer to land.
    Also, FYI, due to the shared airspace, for each plane that lands at the Kobe airport, one less lands at Kansai airport.

    The 's' in Kansai is the same sound as in 'Spain'. It is not 'Kanzai'. Furthermore, it isn't floating. Islands, artificial or otherwise, do not float. Also, Kobe and Ghosn were also mispronounced. There again, what does one expect from the English. They can't even get Welsh place names correct after almost 800 years, so they continue with their tradition of butchering other languages also.

    Having flown into and out of Kansai Airport more than 15 times I can honestly say it is one of my least favourite Airports. Long security lines, dated interior. The recent renovations have improved it somewhat but the check-in counters and areas are too small, security lines are often long.
    Commute to Namba takes too long even by the rapid train.
