Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport guide

Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport lies on the Matsumoto Plain in central Nagano Prefecture, Japan, about 9 kilometres southwest of central Matsumoto. The site straddles the boundary between Matsumoto and Shiojiri, and the official address is in Matsumoto City. It opened in July 1965 and is known locally as Matsumoto Airport.

A single asphalt runway, 18/36 and 2,000 metres long, handles all traffic. The runway was extended in 1994 so that small jets could use the airport, and a new passenger terminal building opened the same year. Nagano Prefecture owns the airport, and its Matsumoto Airport Management Office runs it.

Scheduled flights in fiscal year 2025 carried 241,523 passengers. Fuji Dream Airlines flies to Sapporo (New Chitose), Fukuoka and Kobe, with Sapporo (Okadama) and Osaka (Itami) flights in some months. Charter flights add to the schedule, with 93 domestic charters and 20 international charters that year, mainly to Cheongju and Ulaanbaatar. The airport passed 4 million cumulative passengers since the jet-era reopening in December 2022.
