About Centrair : Freight Logistics at Centrair | Central Japan International Airport Centrair

The logistics of Central Japan are changing. An International base of an around-the-clock air freight system.

Central Japan is an economically wealthy region with dynamic movements of freight.
In order to increase the speed and size of that movement, Centrair is working to become an airport that is economically distinguished, convenient, and can serve as an international base of air freight.

Centrair’s freight terminal, compared to the previous terminal at Nagoya (Komaki) Airport, has doubled in its capacity to handle freight and is quickly becoming Central Japan’s new logistics base.

The new facilities have been arranged with consideration for the flow line of freight, trucks, and people. With a wide frontage freight warehouse, planes can park in front and rapidly load or unload.

The freight warehouse handles both import and export freight in the same space, lowering costs and increasing compatibility.

Plenty of space has been secured for truck stops in order to eliminate traffic congestion.
