| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kitakyushu Airport | KKJ | 55 km (34 mi) | 8,202 ft | 21 ft |
| Yamaguchi Ube Airport (regional) | UBJ | 33 km (21 mi) | 8,200 ft | 23 ft |
| Iwami Airport (regional) | IWJ | 62 km (39 mi) | 6,562 ft | 184 ft |
| Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport (regional) | IWK | 72 km (45 mi) | 8,000 ft | 7 ft |
| Oita Airport (regional) | OIT | 82 km (51 mi) | 9,840 ft | 19 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, KKJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 21 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
