Distance & flight time from AXJ
Amakusa Airport
Amakusa Airport sits within the Amakusa Islands, part of Kumamoto Prefecture on Japan's southern island of Kyushu. Ground elevation at the field is 340 feet, and the lone runway suits small turboprop aircraft rather than larger jets. Amakusa lies within easy reach of several larger Kyushu airports: Nagasaki Airport is closest at about 54 kilometers, followed by Kyushu Saga International at roughly 75 kilometers and Kumamoto Airport at about 76 kilometers away. That cluster of fields across Kyushu's western and southern coasts points to a dense web of short domestic hops, each built to link a smaller community to the bigger cities on the main island.
