Osaka Japan, the second biggest city in Japan and the hub city for the Kansai region. There are two airports just like Tokyo (Haneda and Narita).
Two airports
Osaka International Airport (ICAO: RIOO, IATA: ITM) Itami airport situated just 13km north west of the city center.
Kansai International Airport (ICAO: RJBB, IATA:KIX
Mainly because of the old Itami Osaka International Airport location so close to the urban area and noise problem, on the other hand Itami is more competitive for business customers from Tokyo (competition with JR Bullet train service - Shinkansen), Itami is still so popular for the most of domestic flights and new Kansai International Airport is not as successful as first thought.
For the best solution, however, the worst for the domestic Tokyo (Haneda) - Osaka (Itami), the usage of Kansai International Airport for both International and Cargo flights will be the key for the future of Osaka area. To give the new airport any chance, it is far too important to bring domestic connecting flights from Osaka Int'l airport to Kansai Int'l airport.
