| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kitakyushu Airport | KKJ | 54 km (34 mi) | 8,202 ft | 21 ft |
| Yamaguchi Ube Airport (regional) | UBJ | 30 km (19 mi) | 8,200 ft | 23 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, KKJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 21 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
