The Kazuo Nomi Airport collection is primarily comprised of technical drawings for design, construction, and expansion of various airports, 1972-2002 (bulk dates 1972-1985). The materials were collected and used by Nomi, who was Assistant to the Administrative General Manager, Transportation Services for Japan Air Lines. The materials have been grouped by airport and are listed alphabetically by their anglicized name. Materials within each airport series are ordered chronologically.

The bulk and strength of the collection are technical drawings and plans for various construction projects, expansions, changes, and layouts to terminals, boarding areas, and baggage handling facilities, among other areas. Examples include "terminal building floor plan, level 1" and "typical gate lounge plan." A few design plans focus on airport terminals for assigned airlines, including American Airlines, Braniff Airways, and Mexicana. Other types of material present include airport fact sheets, promotional booklets, reports, a photographic reproduction of a concept design, procedure documents, terminal maps and design planning documents.

Also present is a small amount of ephemera, including two postcards for a Swedish restaurant and a graphic design booklet issued by Lufthansa.
