Since the 1970s there have been plans to build a line to Itami Airport from Sone, which would allow through service between the airport and Umeda. Although Hankyu shelved the plans in the 1980s due to capacity constraints, the plans were reportedly revived in 2017 and remain under consideration as of 2018. The Itami Airport terminal is approx. 4 km from Sone.[1][2]
