Central Japan International Airport, opening today near Nagoya, will serve as a key center for the exchange of people, commodities and information between Japan and the rest of the world, said Yukihisa Hirano, president of the new airport's operating company.
In a recent media interview and an interview with The Japan Times, Hirano also emphasized that he will stick to the "customers-first principle" in the new airport's management and operation.
"Our aim is to make the new airport a truly competitive one in terms of economic efficiency and user-friendliness," he said. "Out of unceasing soul-searching and reforms, the new airport will be put on an evolutionary path."
