Our Haneda Airport Counter Reopened After Renovations on Friday, June 23!

We offer a friendly welcome to one and all,
with a design that reflects Hokkaido.

AIRDO Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "AIRDO") reopened its newly renovated Haneda Airport counter on Friday, June 23. At AIRDO, we strive to offer the full range of services required of a "one-of-a-kind airline" that is worthy of our slogan, "the Wings of HOKKAIDO", and the renovation and reopening of our airport counter is a part of those efforts.

The concept driving these renovations was to provide an airport counter that "offers a friendly welcome to one and all, with a design that reflects Hokkaido". With the basic theme of providing a wood-texture design that helps visitors feel warmth and friendliness, our goal has been to provide a counter with easy-to-use, easy-to-understand functionality that customers of all ages can feel safe and secure in approaching.

Today, to commemorate our reopening, we will conduct an unveiling ceremony in front of the Haneda Airport counter at 10:30. Please feel free to take this opportunity to visit the new AIRDO airport counter.

1. Features of the New Counter

• "A design that is welcoming to one and all"
  We designed the counter to comply with universal design principles, such as low counters and pictograms (visual symbols) to improve visual perceptibility, which was needed in order to improve accessibility (ease of use and barrier-free access).
• "A design that adds Hokkaido flair to the start of one's journey"
  This design uses wood textures on all surfaces to create a sense of warmth and friendliness.
• "A travel concierge desk"
  We aim to provide customer-centric service by employing Hokkaido tourism experts, Hokkaido food experts, and service assistant qualification maintainers.

We are planning to renovate our counter at New Chitose Airport this winter based on the same design concept.
