Kobe Airport

KIX was built ﬁve kilometers off the coast of the Senshu
District to minimize the impacts of aircraft noise. Waste
and wastewater generated inside the airport are treatedonsite. In addition, seaweed beds have formed in theseawall surrounding the manmade airport island thatcreate a habitat for a variety of marine life.

Located near the heart of the Keihansin metropolitanarea, these airports are adjacent to urban areas. We
are making efforts to reduce aircraft noise throughpromoting introduction of low-noise aircraft and toimprove the living environments in the regions of theairport through environmental countermeasures.

KOBE was built on the sea in harmony with theenvironment.
We make sure to reduce our environmental impact byincorporating a cogeneration system in the passenger
terminal building and collecting and reusing rainwater.
