The refurbished South Wing at Narita International Airport's Terminal 1 opened Friday amid high hopes from the airport's operator and All Nippon Airways Co., the terminal's main tenant, that the improvements will attract more passengers.

"(Narita) will be the world's first airport to allocate each of the three largest airline coalitions (Star Alliance, oneworld and Sky Team) to different terminals," NAA President Masahiko Kurono said.
