Kansai International Airport in Japan claims it has never lost a bag in its 30 years of operation. The airport, serving Osaka and Kyoto, was recently named the World's Best Airport for Baggage Delivery by SKYTRAX. Airport staff handle over 3,000 pieces of luggage daily, ensuring careful treatment and quick delivery to carousels within 15 minutes of arrival. This efficiency is attributed to their attention to detail, despite no special training. Kansai has returned to pre-pandemic passenger levels of 25 million annually and is preparing for the Osaka Expo 2025. Renovations have improved facilities, allowing the airport to accommodate up to 40 million passengers each year.
