I don't care what they do to the runways, as long as they open Narita up to more domestic routes so I can catch a connection up to Akita when I come in from the US to visit the in-laws.
Now, I have to either ground-transfer to Haneda from Narita, fly into Haneda to begin with (less options/more expensive), or take 6 hours of trains after I've already been travelling for most of a day.

So, Narita might actually finally have 3 runways, 50+ years after it was supposed to!!
Because Japan respected the people's wishes and held off building the 3rd runway. That's way.

Google earth shows the new lengthened threshold of runway 34R as well as supporting taxiways are ALREADY built. The farm and the owners house between the extended section and the present runway will need to be paved over. A large section of land lost not to mention a life to start over I hope they get generously compensated.

As a worker at Narita Airport... This is a good news. I can't wait to work more.

Great. Now when are they going to take down that darn "Down with Narita" sign?

They hope it will be built in the 2020's, if there is opposition to the third runway and extension like there was for the original Narita construction, it's a pipe dream to think they will get it done so quickly!
