The number of foreign travelers using the airport also exceeded 20 million for the first time since its launch, reaching 21.2 million.
Combined passenger traffic across Kansai Airport, Osaka International Airport (Itami) and Kobe Airport also hit a record high for a fiscal year, totaling 54.01 million passengers.
The operator said flights to China and the Middle East declined due to the Chinese government’s calls to refrain from travel to Japan and worsening tensions in the Middle East.
However, increased demand for routes linking Japan with South Korea and Southeast Asian nations helped drive the overall growth.
