In March last year, Narita International Airport revealed plans to build a third runway to manage growing passenger traffic.

The C Runway will be 3,500m-long and is scheduled to become operational by 2028. It will be constructed in parallel with the other two runways.

Plans are also in place to extend the B Runway by 1,000m to accommodate larger aircraft.
