Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Akita is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Akita Airport (AXT), 14 km (9 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,200 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Odate Noshiro Airport (ONJ, 57 km), Iwate Hanamaki Airport (HNA, 93 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Akita Airport (regional) | AXT | 14 km (9 mi) | 8,200 ft | 313 ft |
| Odate Noshiro Airport (regional) | ONJ | 57 km (35 mi) | 6,562 ft | 292 ft |
| Iwate Hanamaki Airport (regional) | HNA | 93 km (58 mi) | 8,202 ft | 297 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,200 ft, AXT handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 313 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
