Airport:
countering A/H1N1 influenza

Kansai International Airport, which started its service in 1994, is the first Japanese
airport to operate 24 hours per day, serving as both a destination in its own right,
with associated easy access to/from downtown, and as a transit point to other
domestic and overseas locations. With a round-the-clock operation, it was important
to ensure that noise pollution was kept to a minimum and such environmental
concerns were part and parcel of the airport’s mission from the onset. The last year
has, however, seen a new threat to world travellers – that of A/H1N1 influenza,
otherwise known as swine flu. Rather than distance itself from any responsibility
for the spread of the disease, Kansai International Airport has recognised that
any public place can facilitate contamination and transmission and, as such, it has
taken steps to protect airport customers from the latest bio hazard to concern air
travellers and has, in the process, become a model of social responsibility.
