Is Kansai Intl Airport still sinking?

Question

What measures have they taken ... & what about the plans to expand?

Answer 1

The rate of sinking has slowed down markedly in recent years (just 17 cm in 2002). In 2003, believing that the sinking problem was almost over, the airport operators started the construction of a 4,000m second runway, with an estimated project cost of ¥1.56 trillion (approx. US$15 billion). Since the airport is at its limit on "peak" times, a portion of Phase II, including the second runway, is scheduled to become operational on August 2, 2007. Later on, the airport is planning to construct a new terminal building, several aprons, and a third runway.
