Narita International Airport Corp. said Thursday that it has submitted a proposal to the International Air Transport Association to cut its landing fees by an average of more than 20 percent.
Narita, whose landing fees are the most expensive in the world, has been under continuous pressure to cut them. Thursday's decision appears aimed at winning back international airlines that are favoring other Asian hubs.
Since its privatization last year, Narita has pledged to lower its landing fees on the basis of its profit projections. The move is part of its policy of returning the company's profits to its users, Narita officials said.
