Flights to Fukushima
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Fukushima is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Sendai Airport (SDJ), 59 km (37 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,842 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Fukushima Airport (FKS, 58 km), Yamagata Airport (GAJ, 74 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sendai Airport | SDJ | 59 km (37 mi) | 9,842 ft | 15 ft |
| Fukushima Airport (regional) | FKS | 58 km (36 mi) | 8,202 ft | 1,221 ft |
| Yamagata Airport (regional) | GAJ | 74 km (46 mi) | 6,560 ft | 353 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,842 ft, SDJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 15 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
