Kagoshima is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kagoshima Airport (KOJ), 31 km (19 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,840 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Miyazaki Airport (KMI, 92 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kagoshima Airport | KOJ | 31 km (19 mi) | 9,840 ft | 906 ft |
| Miyazaki Airport | KMI | 92 km (57 mi) | 8,200 ft | 20 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,840 ft, KOJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 906 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
