Chubu Centrair International Airport raised its full-year forecast to ¥53.5 billion in sales and ¥2.5 billion in net profit. Passenger numbers are expected to reach 11.15 million, driven by strong performance on South Korea and Taiwan routes.
Chubu Centrair International Airport raised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027. Sales were raised from ¥51.0 billion to ¥53.5 billion, and net profit from ¥100 million to ¥2.5 billion. The passenger forecast was increased from the initial estimate of 11.00 million to 11.15 million, which was cited as the primary reason for the revision.
Although the impact of fewer flights to China remains, flight frequencies on South Korea and Taiwan routes have reportedly reached record highs. In addition, more than 15,000 athletes and team officials for the Asian Games and Asian Para Games are expected to use the airport, providing a further boost to passenger demand.
Looking ahead, service to Frankfurt, Germany, is scheduled to resume in March 2027 with 3 flights per week, with the aim of restoring daily service at an early date. This is also expected to revitalize routes to Europe.
The latest upward revision resulted from a combination of the recovery of South Korea and Taiwan routes and the partial resumption of international services, with the increase in passenger numbers positioned as the primary driver of the improvement in earnings.
