Flights to Tokyo
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Tokyo is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Tokyo Haneda International Airport (HND), 18 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 11,024-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Narita International Airport (NRT, 64 km), Ibaraki Airport (IBR, 85 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tokyo Haneda International Airport | HND | 18 km (11 mi) | 11,024 ft | 35 ft |
| Narita International Airport | NRT | 64 km (40 mi) | 13,123 ft | 141 ft |
| Ibaraki Airport | IBR | 85 km (53 mi) | 8,858 ft | 105 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,024 ft, HND can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 35 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
