longest in the world (1,7km) and was designed by the prominent Italian
architect Renzo Piano.
Indeed, even first-time passengers feel the comfort and the
convenience of KIX in terms of the procedures and flow that need to
be followed, from the time one disembarks up to picking luggage.
International arrivals sort out immigration matters and baggage on
the first floor, while international departures take place on the
third floor after one is ticketed on the fourth floor. A 24-Hour
Airport Lounge, Business Center, VIP and Conference Rooms and, of course,
