Company History
Tokyo International Airport at Haneda, the base of our business, was returned to Japan by the United States in 1952. Following the return, the original name "Tokyo Aerodrome" was changed to "Tokyo International Airport."
To restore the airport as its air gateway, Japan urgently had to expand the facilities to be suitable for an international airport capable of serving Japan's capital of Tokyo. Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd. (JAT) was established to meet this need and to build and manage terminal buildings with private capital mainly financed by Japan's leading companies. Since then the company has developed as described below.
