Japan Airport Consultants, Inc. (JAC) was established in 1970 as an independent and privately-owned consulting firm specializing in the airport-oriented planning and engineering. The multi-disciplinary professional services JAC can provide are related not only to airport facilities but also to air navigation systems in general and to the regional development as well. JAC holds about 130 permanent staff each highly capable of playing a key role for any challenging project involving various technological disciplines required for its successful implementation.

 

Business Activities in Japan

 

Ever since its establishment, JAC has been constantly serving the majority of the domestic airports in one form or another in the course of their development up to date.

 

Kansai International Airport and Tokyo-Haneda International Airport are of primary importance for JAC, to name a couple of airports where JAC has enjoyed the privilege of working at the forefront of various professional disciplines. JAC's service having been performed for Kansai International Airport, the world's first completely offshore airport, embraces a very wide range of engineering activities from the early-stage conceptual planning through construction supervision, extending further into the ultimate-stage development planning studies currently under way. For Tokyo-Haneda International Airport having experienced two-decade redevelopment and seaward relocation to the adjoining reclaimed site, JAC's comprehensive and full-sequence consultancy is unparalleled, in diversity of service scopes. One of the most significant contributions of JAC must be the overall project management performed in support of the implementing authority for such a multi-faceted and complex project involving countless work items concurrently executed by a vast variety of work groups.

　

JAC is also playing active parts in various planning studies and basic researches relating to the introduction of such new concept of satellite-based CNS/ATM and to the establishment of various technical standards and development policies. Those studies and researches are mostly conducted under commissions from the competent authorities of central and local governments.
