| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kumamoto Airport | KMJ | 82 km (51 mi) | 9,840 ft | 642 ft |
| Kitakyushu Airport | KKJ | 86 km (53 mi) | 8,202 ft | 21 ft |

| Yamaguchi Ube Airport (regional) | UBJ | 83 km (52 mi) | 8,200 ft | 23 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,840 ft, KMJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 642 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
