OSAKA -- Japan's Kansai International Airport looks to invest about 100 billion yen ($911 million) through 2025 to upgrade the larger terminal, seeking to boost capacity at the country's No. 2 hub for foreign flights.
Kansai Airports, the facility's operator, also plans to bolster disaster protection measures after Typhoon Jebi caused severe flooding at Terminal 1 and one of the airport's two runways in September. The upgrades represent the first large-scale overhaul of the Osaka-area airport in its 25-year history.
