Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Hitachi is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Ibaraki Airport (IBR), 51 km (32 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,858 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Narita International Airport (NRT, 95 km), Fukushima Airport (FKS, 72 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ibaraki Airport | IBR | 51 km (32 mi) | 8,858 ft | 105 ft |
| Narita International Airport | NRT | 95 km (59 mi) | 13,123 ft | 141 ft |
| Fukushima Airport (regional) | FKS | 72 km (45 mi) | 8,202 ft | 1,221 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,858 ft, IBR handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 105 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
