We will exhibit sponsored products such as material samples.

Open at noon on the 23rd, the first day of resumption. The renewal ceremony was held, and Riki Inuzuka, president of Central Japan International Airport Company, Tatsuya Ito, mayor of Tokoname City, and Rob Henderson, director of the Boeing Japan Public Relations Department, celebrated the reopening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The inside of the building, which was dark before the renewal, has been changed to a brighter one with this renewal. We have changed from the “cool and cool” (President Inuzuka) that makes full use of digital to a friendly one that aims to attract families. Regarding this renewal, President Inuzuka explained his aim, “You will spend a long time comfortably.” By preparing playsets for children, he said, “I want you to visit as many times as you like and get interested.”

Mayor Ito of Tokoname City said, “It has become an attractive facility for the child-rearing generation.” Boeing Japan Director Henderson mentioned that Japan has the largest number of 787s in the world, and that 35% of the structural parts of the aircraft are manufactured by Japanese companies and transported from Chubu Airport to factories in the United States. Above, “Chubu is suitable for (the first machine) homecoming. Make fun memories,” he said in fluent Japanese.

After the reopening, President Inuzuka and three others welcomed many guests, including families and elderly couples. The customer base other than the aviation fans, which had been the target so far, was conspicuous, and visitors enjoyed the brightly reborn hall by taking pictures easily with their smartphones.

Chubu Airport off the coast of Tokoname City can be accessed by car or train from the Chita Peninsula. The airport island and the Chita Peninsula are connected by a toll airport connecting road, etc., and you cannot enter on foot, and there is a charge for either method. In this renewal, the admission fee for FLIGHT OF DREAMS will be free to “lower the hurdle” (Central Japan International Airport Company), increase the number of passengers, and aim for “daily use” at the airport.
