Fukuoka Prefecture is in talks to begin operating a shuttle bus between the metro Fukuoka area and Kitakyushu Airport in fiscal 2015. The bus route is one of the initiatives listed in the Prefecture’s “Vision for Fukuoka Prefecture Airports”, which aims to improve access to Kitakyushu Airport. Although Kitakyushu Airport is a 24-hour airport, poor access has limited its regular flights to the 18 daily round-trips to Haneda Airport. To attract more tourists to the area, the Prefecture is working to boost the number of flights coming into and leaving Kitakyushu Airport ahead of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
