In this project, MTHS Consortium will give top priority to conducting safe and secure airport operations. Mindful of this priority, MTHS Consortium will promote the revitalization of Hiroshima Airport and the surrounding areas. The consortium will seek to increase the non-resident population from both within and outside the region. It will make the most of the geographical advantages of Hiroshima Airport, with its central location in the Chugoku and Shikoku region, and abundant tourist attractions, beginning with the Setouchi and San’in areas. Through these efforts, MTHS Consortium will help to stimulate the regional economy of Chugoku and Shikoku.

MTHS Consortium plans to commence operation of buildings and other facilities next spring and to commence operation of Hiroshima Airport on July 1, 2021. In accordance with the Basic Agreement, MTHS Consortium will prepare for the incorporation of a special purpose company and the execution of a subsequent Project Agreement.
