It is adjacent to Chitose Air Base, a Japan Air Self-Defense Force base which houses F-15 Eagle fighter jets, the Japanese Air Force One government aircraft and a number of smaller emergency response aircraft and helicopters. Chitose and New Chitose have separate runways but are interconnected by taxiways, and aircraft at either facility can enter the other by ground if permitted; the runways at Chitose are occasionally used to relieve runway closures at New Chitose due to winter weather. JASDF provides air traffic control for both facilities.
As of 2005, New Chitose Airport was the third busiest airport in Japan (behind Narita and Haneda) and ranked #64 in the world in terms of passengers carried. The 894 km (556 mi) New Chitose - Tokyo Haneda route is the busiest air route in the world, with 8.8 million passengers carried (out of 13.2 million seats available) in 2010. (Wikipedia)

Current TerraSync Status:
As you can see, it is made, but for such an important airport, boring. It is shameful for being the biggest airport in Hokkaido.
Real World:
WED
As you see, New Chitose has objects in WED. Unfortunately, we cannot use these by default in FlightGear. Could D-Laser's tools be used here?
Nevertheless, in Open Street Map, it is mapped. Not sure if this means KMIA style buildings may be made by OSM2CITY.
New Chitose is very nice in WED. It is complete.
However, Chitose Airbase is not, and thus, I will make it, submit it, and hope WS3.0 comes in time (wishful thinking), or someone can make a layout in TerraGear, for a Custom Scenery for the two airports.
Shared Models at least will be placed in both the Custom Scenery (if it is made) and TerraSync.
