神戸空港
In 2013, Kobe mayor Tatsuo Yada endorsed a proposal to consolidate the management of the three Kansai region airports by adding Kobe Airport to the planned sale in 2014 of operating concessions at Itami and Kansai, although the "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" reported this to be unlikely given the advanced state of negotiations surrounding the concessions.
