The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will revise the guidelines used as reference documents when developing BCPs (Business Continuity Plans) in the event of a disaster, in order to increase their effectiveness. results of the disaster BCP (Business Continuity Plan) developed by the locality. government and other airport managers. The importance of hardware measures such as making runways earthquake-resistant has just been highlighted in order to restore functionality as soon as possible. There is also a need to strengthen cooperation with external organizations, such as concluding rehabilitation agreements with construction-related organizations. This guidance will be disseminated to the 95 airports nationwide that have developed BCPs and will be used to encourage revisions.
The guidelines set out measures to quickly restore airport functionality. On the hardware front, the government urged the government to systematically take measures such as making runways earthquake-proof. To cope with rising sea levels due to climate change, measures such as strengthening drainage facilities and raising seawalls are necessary.
Only 33% of airports have agreements with construction organizations to restore facilities in case of emergency. We call for stronger collaboration with external organizations, such as consulting and construction organizations, so that recovery work can begin quickly.
An assessment was also conducted based on the lessons learned from the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred in January. Since the airport functions as an evacuation center, the division of roles needed to be clarified in advance. and share the cost of receiving evacuees with local authorities.
It took 26 days for Noto Airport, which was damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake, to resume commercial flight operations. As a result, the guidance for continued commercial aircraft operations, which had been set “within 72 hours” of a disaster, was revised. The new guidelines call for setting "realistic goals" that take into account damage estimates and recovery efforts.
