Japan's Nagoya airport to build terminal for budget airlines

An increase in international tourists is causing chronic overcrowding at Chubu Centrair International Airport.

NAGOYA -- Chubu Centrair International Airport plans to open a second terminal targeting low-cost carriers within two to three years, as foreign visitors to Japan continue to rise thanks partly to the weak yen.

     Constructing a terminal building and apron that can accommodate 3 million to 5 million passengers a year will cost the airport operator up to 20 billion yen ($165 million). Details of the plan will be hammered out within the year.
