Narita International Airport
Tokyo, Japan
Narita International Airport (Narita Kokusai Kūkō, IATA: NRT, ICAO: RJAA) — originally known as New Tokyo International Airport (Shin Tōkyō Kokusai Kūkō) — is the secondary international airport serving the Greater Tokyo Area, the other being Haneda Airport (HND). It is about 60 km (37 mi) east of central Tokyo in Narita, Chiba. The facility, since July 2019, covers 1,137 hectares (2, 810 acres) of land and construction to expand to nearly 2,300 ha (5, 700 acres) is underway. The conceptualization of Narita was highly controversial and remains so to the present day, especially among local residents in the area. This has led to the Sanrizuka Struggle, stemming from the government's decision to construct the airport without consulting most residents in the area, as well as expropriating their lands in the process. Even after the airport was eventually completed, air traffic movements have been controlled under various noise related operating restrictions due to its direct proximity with residential neighborhoods, including a house with a farm that is located right in between the runways. As a result, the airport has a mandatory late night curfew from 00:00 (12:00 am) to 06:00 (6:00
