Metro line in Fukuoka, Fukuoka prefecture, Japan
The
Airport Line
(
空港線
,
K?k?-sen
, "Airport Line")
is a
subway
line, part of the
Fukuoka City Subway
system in
Fukuoka
, Japan. It connects
Meinohama
,
Nishi Ward
to
Fukuokak?k?
(
Fukuoka Airport
),
Hakata Ward
, all within Fukuoka. The line's color on maps is orange. Officially, the line is called
Line 1 (K?k? Line)
(
1?線(空港線)
,
Ichi-g?-sen (K?k?-sen)
)
. The line has a through service with JR
Chikuhi Line
. Like other Fukuoka City Subway lines, stations are equipped with
automatic platform gates
, and trains are automatically operated by
ATO
system. However,
JR
train cars (from Chikuhi Line) are operated manually.
This is the only subway line in Japan that
directly links to an airport
. Although
Toei Asakusa Line
trains in
Tokyo
also serve airports (
Narita
and
Haneda
), those are not the stations of the Asakusa Line itself. Rather, they are the stations of suburban lines that the Asakusa Line has
through services
with.
The Airport Line goes through many important areas of the city, namely Nishijin, Tenjin, Hakata, and the airport.
