We are not going to build any more airports, and we will not force airlines to use them. And I do not plan to force Japanese airlines to fly to Ibaraki.

    Hopefully the situation will improve with Ibaragi. It is good to have a third option for flying in and out of Japan. I trust Japan isn't building any more universities? I remember 5 or so years ago there was a scandal because the government was still building like 12 universities even though there will be no students to attend them.
