The Kansai Cargo Terminal is the assigned cargo terminal at Kansai International Airport in Airport Hero Osaka-KIX.

Terminal Information

As described in the game, Kansai Airport wishes to be an international cargo hub, meaning their terminal must meet a few criteria. The in-game terminal reflects these criteria

Description

The cargo terminal includes both the main freight terminal and the Air Phoenix Cargo (PHC) section on the other side of the island. Kansai's terminal is much like the terminals of other airports, with a wide apron and a collection of warehouses, hangars, and terminals. The L-shape design is reminiscent of Narita Airport's cargo terminal.

PHC's side of the terminal is also in an L-shape configuration, however, it is much smaller than the other half of the terminal. The terminal as a whole is located along the set of parallel taxiways that connect the two islands of Kansai Airport. The main half of the terminal is used by Japan Cargo and Asia Express, while the other side is used by Air Phoenix freighters.

Control

The terminal is conveniently located in a fairly isolated part of the airport, so it is noticeably easier to control in on quieter days. Being on the left side, it can use runway 06L or 06R. Other runways are still an option but should be avoided on busier days.

Arrivals should go around the airport and land on the back runways, no matter which exit the player chooses they should leave the runway right in front of the terminal.

The only instance where air traffic control becomes a real issue near the cargo terminal is in the final stage of the game, where a runway closure at 06L/24R forces all planes who normally use that runway (the majority being Air Phoenix and Japan Sky flights) to take the opposing runway. This clogs up the flow of traffic immensely and forces the player to find new alternatives. The area around the cargo terminal will become very cramped, so the ATC must use extreme caution.
