In an agreement signed on Tuesday at NBAA-BACE 2023, Universal Aviation, the ground-handling arm of Universal Weather and Aviation, was selected to manage the dedicated business aviation terminal under construction at New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido, Japan. The facility—which will open on December 8—will be equipped with security checkpoints; customs, immigration, and quarantine services; and lounge space for private aircraft passengers.

The Hokkaido Airport Corp. believes demand for international business jet travel will increase. It also expects that the facility will become a major entry point for Hokkaido, enhancing its guest services and attracting high-end travelers.
