Kansai Airport to become more Muslim-friendly The operator of Kansai Airport said Friday that it will expand services to meet the dietary and prayer needs of Muslim customers, in response to rises in its number of Muslim visitors from the Southeast Asia. New Kansai International Airport Co. will open three new prayer rooms of 50-120 square meters at a terminal building by March 2014, while closing the existing one. The new prayer rooms, separated inside for men and women, will be open 24 hours a day and have facilities for users to purify their bodies before prayers. Beginning on Sept. 1, the airport will offer “halal” meals conforming to Islamic law. Advance reservations are required and can be booked up to one week ahead. The operator will call on tenant restaurants at terminal buildings to obtain halal certification. the-japan-news/news/article/0000491292
