| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kyushu Saga International Airport | HSG | 27 km (17 mi) | 6,562 ft | 6 ft |

| Iki Airport (regional) | IKI | 83 km (52 mi) | 4,331 ft | 41 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,562 ft, HSG handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 6 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
