Step into world of seamless travel, where every journey begins and ends with peace of mind. For three decades, this airport has upheld a remarkable record: not a single piece of luggage lost.
In the fast-paced world of air travel, where delays and mishaps can cause frustration and inconvenience, Kansai Airport in Japan stands out as a beacon of efficiency and reliability.
Recently crowned the best airport for baggage handling in the prestigious 2024 Skytrax World Airport Awards, Kansai Airport has achieved a remarkable feat – maintaining a flawless record of zero lost luggage since its inauguration in 1994.
Kansai Airport’s baggage handling operations can be attributed to its meticulous and streamlined processes. Upon the arrival of a flight, luggage is swiftly sorted in the airport’s state-of-the-art sorting room. Each piece is then carefully placed on the conveyor belt in the precise order dictated by luggage tags.
Crucially, airport staff meticulously check each item to ensure nothing is left behind in the transport box. Remarkably, this entire process is completed within a mere 12 minutes of the plane touching down.
In addition to its remarkable efficiency, Kansai Airport prides itself on its commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and implementing best practices in baggage handling, the airport has consistently raised the bar for industry standards.
While Singapore Changi Airport and Bahrain International Airport secured second and third place, respectively, demonstrating their own commitment to excellence in customer service. Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, ranked eighth in the survey, further highlights the Asian region’s dominance in providing exceptional baggage handling services.

In a bold and visionary move, an abandoned airport in Toronto, Canada, is set to undergo a dramatic transformation into a sprawling mega-city, thanks to an ambitious £12.3 billion ($22 billion CAD) redevelopment plan.
This groundbreaking project has recently been given the green light by local officials and promises to create a vibrant, thriving community over the next three decades. Spanning 370 acres of unused land, the development will see the creation of seven distinct neighborhoods, designed to accommodate up to 83,500 residents.

What sets this project apart is its commitment to preserving the historical essence of the former airport. Developers have pledged to retain key elements of the site, including 11 aircraft hangars and half a mile of the original runway. These remnants of the past will be ingeniously repurposed, giving the new city a unique character that pays homage to the area’s rich history, particularly its role in aircraft manufacturing during World War II.
The heart of the first mixed-use district will feature the old hangars, which will serve as central hubs for community activities. These iconic structures will be surrounded by a mix of shops, restaurants, and even a library, all lining the preserved runway, now reimagined as a pedestrian walkway. This blend of the old and the new is expected to attract a diverse range of businesses and residents, creating a vibrant, interconnected community.

The first phase of development is anticipated to generate 7,000 new jobs, providing local residents with opportunities to live and work within the same community. This district will include 2,850 housing units, primarily composed of mid-rise apartment buildings, catering to a variety of lifestyles and needs.
Northcrest Developments, the company behind this visionary project, believes that the unique nature of the development will appeal to businesses seeking distinctive and innovative workspaces that are currently unavailable in the market. According to company spokesperson Goring, “There’s an opportunity to attract companies that actually want to be here but can’t because they can’t find these types of locations.”
As the project progresses, it is expected to become a model for sustainable urban development, seamlessly blending history with modernity.
