for Kansai International Airport for commencing services by the end of FY 2016. The feasibility of constructing new LCC terminal is being explored at Chubu International Airport as well. The second is the reduction of the airport fees, including landing fees. Efforts that began in FY 2014 continued into FY 2015 to mark down or review the airport fees, including landing fees at Narita International Airport and Kansai International Airport.

## (iii) Accelerating the reception of business jets

A business jet is a small aircraft with the capacity to hold a few to more than a dozen passengers at the most. Business jets are typically used by businesspersons valuing time because they are able to adjust times according to their schedules or utilize the plane as a secure space to carry on business meetings and such on board. Business jets have become a means of global corporate activity in the U.S. and Europe. As Japan’s economy goes on global, the need to attract investment from overseas is beginning to win wider recognition than before, instead of conducting a one-sided exchanges, such as building a plant overseas. Hence, the importance and potentials of business jets in Japan will grow from a viewpoint of consolidating economic growths in the Asian regions from now on.

Structural measures have been implemented and regulations eased to get better prepared for hosting business jets flying into metropolitan airports. For example, the monthly application deadline and finalization date for flight schedules at Tokyo International Airport were advanced (by five days) starting from flights for the end of March 2016; fast lanes available to inbound foreign visitors using business jets were established at Kansai International Airport; and spots available to getting on and off business jets were increased (by two spots) at Narita International Airport.

Going forward, measures including active information dissemination and relaxation of regulations on business jets will be examined for embedding the use of business jets.
