History
File:JAL & ANA - Chubu International Airport.jpg
Chubu Centrair serves the third largest metropolitan area in Japan, centered around the city of Nagoya. The region is a major manufacturing centre, with the headquarters and production facilities of Toyota Motor Corporation and production facilities for Mitsubishi Motors and Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation.{{cite web|url=http://press.jal.co.jp/en/release/200502/000720.html|title=Feb 10, 2005 GOODBYE & AND THANK YOU KOMAKI AIRPORT|access-date=7 June 2015}} The cargo handling capacity of the existing Nagoya Airport was not enough to satisfy the demands from the regional economy, and the airport was hampered by its location in a residential area of Aichi Prefecture, limiting the number of flights that can use the airport, as well as the hours in which they could operate.
With much lobbying by local business groups such as Toyota, especially for 24-hour cargo flights, construction started August 2000, with a budget of JPY¥768 billion (€5.5 billion, US$7.3 billion), but through efficient management nearly ¥100 billion was saved.{{cite web |url=http://www.civilprojectsonline.com/mega-civil-projects/airports/central-japan-international-airport/ |title=Central Japan International Airport |access-date=23 March 2014|date=23 April 2010 }} Penta-Ocean Construction was a major contractor.{{cite web |url=http://www.airport-technology.com/projects/central_asia/ |title=Centrair Profile and History |website=airport-technology.com |access-date=23 March 2014}}{{Unreliable source?|reason=domain on WP:BLACKLIST|date=June 2016}}
According to Japanese media sources, Kodo-kai, a yakuza faction in the Yamaguchi-gumi group, earned an immense amount of money by being the sole supplier, via a front company called Samix, of dirt, rock, sand, and gravel for the airport construction project. Although several Samix executives were criminally indicted for racketeering, the prosecutions were later dropped. According to the sources, Kodo-kai had informants working within the Nagoya police who fed the organization inside information which allowed them to stay a step ahead of investigating authorities.Sentaku Magazine (reprinted in the Japan Times), "[http://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2015/10/23/commentary/japan-commentary/kodokai-still-raking-funds-despite-tougher-yakuza-laws/ Kodo-kai still raking in funds despite tougher yakuza laws]", 23 October 2015
When Chubu Centrair opened on 17 February 2005, it took over almost all of the existing Nagoya Airport's commercial flights, and relieved Tokyo and Kansai areas of cargo shipments. As a replacement for Nagoya Airport, it also inherited its IATA airport code NGO. The airport opened in time to service the influx of visitors for Expo 2005, located near Nagoya.
=Route withdrawals=
There were several withdrawals from Chubu Centrair after the airport commenced its operation. American Airlines operated a route to Chicago for less than seven months in 2005, but said the service was "not as profitable as we had hoped".{{cite news|last=Skertic|first=Mark|title=American Airlines to end flights to Nagoya, Japan|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2005/10/01/american-airlines-to-end-flights-to-nagoya-japan/|access-date=13 December 2013|newspaper=Chicago Tribune|date=1 October 2005}} In 2008, after a few years of service from Chubu Centrair, several airlines cancelled certain flights and put others on hiatus, including Malaysia Airlines' suspension of flights to Kuala Lumpur,{{cite news|title=LCC eyes Nagoya-Kuala Lumpur runs|url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2013/09/13/business/lcc-eyes-nagoya-kuala-lumpur-runs/#.Uqp4MNIW1_0|access-date=13 December 2013|newspaper=Kyodo|date=13 September 2013}} Jetstar ending its airport operation, Continental Airlines stopping its Honolulu flight and United Airlines' suspension of flights to San Francisco, citing low premium cabin demand.

Japan Airlines also ended its flights to Paris in 2009 and Bangkok in 2020. Garuda Indonesia ended service from Denpasar in March 2012, returned to Nagoya with the opening of direct flights from Jakarta in March 2019, then suspended services once again in March 2020. EVA Air left the airport in June 2012. TransAsia Airways subsidiary V Air withdrew from Centrair and ended operations in October 2016.
Northwest Airlines operated routes from Nagoya to Detroit, Guam, Manila, Saipan, and Tokyo–Narita prior to its 2009 merger with Delta Air Lines.{{Cite web |date=2005-03-22 |title=Northwest's Nagoya flights now flying from 'Centrair' |url=https://www.saipantribune.com/index.php/a2d836aa-1dfb-11e4-aedf-250bc8c9958e/ |access-date=2023-01-24 |website=Saipan Tribune |language=en-US}} Delta took over this operation and added a Honolulu route in 2010, growing to nine daily flights at Nagoya, but cancelled most of these services over the next decade. Delta's last two routes at Nagoya, Detroit and Honolulu, were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The Detroit route resumed on a weekly basis in April 2021, but Delta announced its permanent cancellation in 2023.{{Cite web |title=Delta is pulling out of Nagoya, leaving Japanese city with no flights from North America |url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/delta-is-pulling-out-of-nagoya-leaving-japanese-city-with-no-flights-from-north-america/ar-AA16GNWL |access-date=2023-01-24 |website=MSN |language=en-US}} Finnair suspended its flights from Helsinki to Nagoya during the COVID-19 pandemic but resumed the route in 2024, becoming the only European airline to operate flights to Nagoya.{{cn|date=June 2025}}
