2. Information Sharing
1) Information gathering for volcanic ash Airport Operation Officer(AOO) collects any information regarding to Volcanic Ash from the eruption of Mt. Shinmoedake . AOO also observes volcanic ash condition by Runway surface inspection.
2) Infrastructure for Information Sharing ATIS Airport Official Information Web Mobile Email

1) Information gathering for volcanic ash
Weather (including Miyazaki Airport Japan Meteorological Agency Website) 1) Volcanic eruption 2) Ash fall forecast (with upper wind direction) 3) Met-air notification 4) Special observation by JMA
Flights Status 1) Flight status for cancelation, diversion or delay 2) Requests of extension of airport operational hours for ash evacuation. 3) Overnight stay.
Airport Condition 1) Runway, taxiway and apron surface condition. 2) Observation of volcanic ash 3) Ash removal work plan (Runway Closure)

2) Infrastructure for Information Sharing
AOO provides information by “Airport Officials Information Web” on time.
Airport condition, NOTAM, Aircraft stand allocation plan/status, Work plan/status in airside area, Volcanic ash information, aerodrome warning, typhoon warning and other useful information for flight planning are also available via this Web site.

3. Observation of Volcanic Ash
Methods to observe Ash fall• Observe ash fall checking how dirty the white cloth established on certain point of apron.
• Observe how ash whirled up when a vehicle runs at 60km/hours in apron area. *Depend on the observation, Airline operators request ash removal to airport office.
Observation of volcanic ash is essential for the decision of ash removal. However, it is difficult to observe and report ash fall condition because ash is diffused in the air and cannot measure easily . Miyazaki Airport Office applied following observation methods that anybody can easily identify and report ash fall.

4. Coordination for Ash Removal
“The Guideline for Ash Removal Work in Miyazaki Airport ”This guideline was determined by reference to the Guideline of Kagoshima airport with many years of experience in volcanic ash from the eruption of Mt. Sakurajima.
