Narita International Airport (NRT/RJAA)

www.narita-airport.jp/en/

Narita International Airport (IATA: NRT, ICAO: RJAA), also known as Tokyo Narita Airport and formerly known as New Tokyo International Airport from 1978 to 2004, is one of the two primary airports that serve the Greater Tokyo Area.


Terminals and airlines

Narita Airport has two separate terminals with separate underground train stations. The only connection between the terminals is by shuttle bus (buses are available both inside and outside the security area): there is no pedestrian connection.

Terminal 1
Terminal 1 uses a satellite terminal design. The landside of the terminal is divided into a North Wing (kita-uingu), Central Building (chuo-biru), and South Wing (minami-uingu). Two circular satellites, Satellites 1 (gates 11-18) and 2 (gates 21-24), are connected to the North Wing, Satellite 3 (gates 26-38) is a linear concourse connected to the Central Building, and Satellite 4 (gates 41-47) is located at the far end of Satellite 3.

The South Wing and Satellite 5 opened in June 2006 as a terminal for Star Alliance carriers. The South Wing has seven stories, and the first floor contains facilities for domestic flights by ANA. It is the first airport terminal in Japan to offer curbside check-in service and baggage reconnecting facilities for passengers connecting from international to domestic flights. It is also one of the first airport terminals to have unified check-in desks for an airline alliance, separated by class of service rather than by carrier. SkyTeam also plans to unify its operations in Terminal 1 by early 2007.

Check-in is processed on the fourth floor, and departures and immigration control are on the third floor. Arriving passengers clear immigration on the second floor, then claim their baggage and clear customs on the first floor. Most shops and restaurants are located on the fourth floor of the Central Building.

Terminal 2

"Shuttle" used to transport passengers to satellite concourses in Terminal 2
Aircraft parked at Terminal 2Terminal 2 is divided into a main building (honkan) and satellite, both of which are designed around linear concourses. The two are connected by a "shuttle," which was designed by Japan Otis Elevator and was the first cable-driven people mover in Japan.

Check-in and departures are on the third floor. Immigration control for arriving passengers is on the second floor, and baggage claim and customs are on the first floor.

For domestic flights, three gates (A65, A66, and A67) in the main building are connected to both the main departures concourse and to a separate domestic check-in facility. Passengers connecting between domestic and international flights must exit the gate area, walk to the other check-in area, and then check in for their connecting flight.

Japan Airlines is currently the main operator in T2; several oneworld carriers currently in T1 plan to move to T2 in late 2006 so as to ease connections to and from JAL flights pending JAL's formal entry into the alliance.
