| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Osaka Itami International Airport | ITM | 55 km (34 mi) | 9,840 ft | 50 ft |
| Chubu Centrair International Airport | NGO | 78 km (48 mi) | 11,483 ft | 15 ft |
| Kobe Airport | UKB | 80 km (50 mi) | 8,202 ft | 22 ft |

| Nagoya Airport / JASDF Komaki Air Base (regional) | NKM | 91 km (57 mi) | 8,990 ft | 52 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,840 ft, ITM handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 50 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
