Airporter rolls out Osaka off-airport check-in service
Airporter, Inc. and MUIC Kansai (Kansai Innovation Center) have introduced Japan’s first off-airport check-in service at Kansai International Airport.
It streamlines the luggage process, delivering luggage directly from hotels (or designated drop-off points) to departure airports in Japan and onward to international arrival airports.
A proof of concept project with JAL customers departing from Kansai was successful.
Airporter and MUIC Kansai plan to establish collaboration with major Asian airlines frequently used by international travellers visiting Japan in the future.
Airporter provides same-day luggage delivery between airports and hotels, expanding its service to international airports.
By combining Airporter’s same-day luggage delivery service with online check-in, this service contributes to the digitisation of boarding procedures, reducing long wait times.
With an eye on Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, the initial focus for implementing the service was in Osaka.
Airporter and MUIC Kansai plan to enhance the service to a full-scale expansion, with Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai in sight.
They will start by expanding partnerships with major Asian airlines.
The goal is to develop dedicated equipment that can be installed in hotels, stations, and other locations.
This will enable passengers to perform luggage check-in procedures at specific points within the city.
