Miyakejima Airport — Miyakejima, Japan

Miyakejima Airport, coded MYE, serves Miyakejima, a volcanic island in Japan's Izu archipelago south of Tokyo. The airport has a dramatic history tied to the island's active volcano, Mount Oyama, whose eruption in 2000 forced the evacuation of the entire island population for several years and closed the airport during that period. Since residents returned, MYE has resumed operations, connecting the island to Tokyo's Haneda Airport via small commercial aircraft. The island continues to have elevated volcanic gas levels in certain areas, and MYE's operations occasionally factor in ongoing monitoring of volcanic activity. Miyakejima is known among divers and bird watchers for its unique volcanic terrain and marine biodiversity, drawing niche tourism supported by MYE's flights.
