Japan’s Osaka Kansai airport will be one of the country’s first airports to allow travellers to buy duty-free on arrival.
In a statement released today Japan’s Kansai Airport announced that its first arrivals duty-free shops will soon be open for business:
KIX’s first arrival duty-free shops open!
Kansai Airports is pleased to announce that duty-free shops will open in the international arrival areas of Terminals 1 and 2 at Kansai International Airport (KIX) in spring 2018.
These will be the first duty-free shops located in the international arrival areas at KIX. After the opening, arriving passengers can buy goods exempt from duties and taxes.
The introduction of arrival duty-free shops will surely make passengers’ airport experiences more pleasant. Japanese travellers will no longer need to carry duty-free items abroad, and foreign travellers will be provided more shopping opportunities.
Kansai Airports will continue making the shopping areas more exciting and attractive to provide a comfortable and pleasant travel experience for our customers.
