The closest large one is Osaka Itami International Airport (ITM), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,840 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Osaka Itami International Airport | ITM | 19 km (12 mi) | 9,840 ft | 50 ft |
| Kobe Airport | UKB | 44 km (27 mi) | 8,202 ft | 22 ft |
| Kansai International Airport | KIX | 57 km (35 mi) | 13,123 ft | 26 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,840 ft, ITM handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 50 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
