Naha International Airport guide

Naha Airport is the main gateway to Okinawa Prefecture, on the southwest coast of Okinawa's main island about 4 km west of central Naha. It began as the Oroku Aerodrome of the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1933. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism owns the airport, and the Japan Air Self-Defense Force shares the airfield, so military and civil flights use the same runways.

The airport handled about 21.7 million passengers and 158,822 aircraft movements in 2024, which makes it Japan's sixth busiest. A second runway opened on 26 March 2020, taking the airfield from one runway to two. Japan Transocean Air and Ryukyu Air Commuter base their island services here, and Peach Aviation and Solaseed Air run operating bases.

A building that links the domestic and international terminals opened on 18 March 2019. The low-cost carrier terminal opened in 2012 as a north annex of the domestic terminal and is used by Peach Aviation. The Okinawa Urban Monorail, known as Yui Rail, stops at Naha Airport Station and runs to central Naha.
