Fukuoka Airport (福岡空港, Fukuoka Kūkō) (IATA: FUK, ICAO: RJFF), formerly known as Itazuke Air Base, is an international and domestic airport located 1.6 NM (3.0 km; 1.8 mi) east of Hakata Station[4] in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka, Japan. The facility has one 2,800 m (9,186 ft) runway and covers 355 hectares (877 acres) of land.[5]
Fukuoka Airport is the principal airport on the island of Kyushu and is the fourth busiest passenger airport in Japan, serving 25 million passengers in 2018.[6] As of 2017, the airport is the fourth busiest single-runway airport in the world by passenger traffic (after Mumbai, London–Gatwick and İstanbul-Sabiha Gökçen).[7] The airport is surrounded by residential areas and due to their geographic location, all of its flights have to stop at 10 p.m. every day at the request of local residents and resume operation at 7 a.m. The domestic terminal boasts extensive facilities, but the international terminal is located on the other side of the runway. The domestic terminal is connected to the city by the Fukuoka City Subway, and a subway from the airport to the business district takes about ten minutes. The international terminal is only accessible by road, although there is scheduled bus service to Hakata Station and the Tenjin area.[8] As for access to the Fukuoka area, there are airports such as Saga Airport and Kitakyushu Airport, built on an artificial island and therefore open 24 hours a day, as alternatives to Fukuoka Airport, which is chronically congested. Fukuoka Airport is aggressively building a second runway and expanding two terminals in an effort to ease congestion.
Fukuoka Airport is ranked 26th in Skytrax’s World's Top 100 Airports for 2024 and the 2nd in the World's Best Regional Airports
