Iwakuni is served by 6 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Matsuyama Airport (MYJ), 58 km (36 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,200 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Hiroshima Airport (HIJ, 71 km), Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport (IWK, 3 km), Iwami Airport (IWJ, 69 km), Oita Airport (OIT, 88 km), Yamaguchi Ube Airport (UBJ, 90 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matsuyama Airport | MYJ | 58 km (36 mi) | 8,200 ft | 25 ft |
| Hiroshima Airport | HIJ | 71 km (44 mi) | 9,842 ft | 1,088 ft |
| Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport (regional) | IWK | 3 km (2 mi) | 8,000 ft | 7 ft |
| Iwami Airport (regional) | IWJ | 69 km (43 mi) | 6,562 ft | 184 ft |
| Oita Airport (regional) | OIT | 88 km (55 mi) | 9,840 ft | 19 ft |
| Yamaguchi Ube Airport (regional) | UBJ | 90 km (56 mi) | 8,200 ft | 23 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,200 ft, MYJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 25 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
