During its fifty years' development, it continually introduced modern types of aircraft into its fleet and has grown into the largest airlines in Japan and one of the ten largest ones throughout the world. Within Japan, there are more than 800 domestic flights daily, accounting for nearly 50 percent of the share. It now owns over 40 international routes and operates around 250 international flights per week. In 1999, it entered the Star Alliance Network -the largest aviation alliance in the world.

It can be easily reached by road, railway and high speed ferry. This artificial island is built to have a capacity of 30 million people per year.
