Location

Osaka, Japan

Osaka Itami International Airport (ITM), officially known as Osaka International Airport, is one of Japan's busiest airports despite its name suggesting international service. Located between Osaka and Kobe in the cities of Itami and Toyonaka, it primarily serves domestic routes following the opening of Kansai International Airport in 1994. The airport handles tens of millions of passengers annually and serves as a major hub for Japan Airlines (JAL) and All Nippon Airways (ANA), connecting Osaka to key domestic destinations including Tokyo Haneda, Sapporo, and Fukuoka. Its central location within the Kansai region makes it highly convenient for business and leisure travelers. Itami is managed by Kansai Airports, the same operator that runs Kansai International and Kobe airports. Despite occasional debates about its closure, the airport remains a vital piece of regional aviation infrastructure due to its proximity to central Osaka.

Terminals

The airport has two terminals — the South Terminal (Terminal 1) and the North Terminal (Terminal 2) — serving domestic flights operated primarily by JAL group and ANA group carriers respectively.

Getting to & from

Itami Airport is served by the Osaka Monorail and limousine bus services connecting it to central Osaka, Umeda, and other Kansai cities.
