Title: Kansai

Hi folks,

anybody knows what is going on there ?

(http://www.fw.hu/btm/ehm/kansai.jpg)

I would say that they built a small playground for trucks, with little racetracks, and challenging rallye courses ;D

So what is the upper island for ? An airport extension, or an industrial park ?

It's Kansai expanding, adding a second runway at least.
Don't know if they are expanding the terminal to.

The new runway will be: 06L/23R and have alength of 13123ft or 4000m due to open on 2. aug 2007.

@Robert I suppose you could use the runway for drag racing:]
