Miyako Airport — Miyakojima, Japan

Miyako Airport (MMY) serves Miyakojima, a popular island in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, celebrated for its strikingly clear turquoise waters and white sand beaches, including the famous Yonaha Maehama Beach. MMY handles a substantial volume of domestic tourist traffic, particularly from mainland Japan and Naha, as Miyakojima has become an increasingly popular alternative to the more crowded main Okinawan island for beach vacations, diving, and marine sports. The airport has undergone terminal expansions to accommodate rising visitor numbers, including seasonal increases in flights during Japan's peak travel periods. Miyako Airport plays a central economic role for the island, whose tourism industry has grown substantially in recent years alongside its traditional sugarcane and fishing industries.
