Remote island gateway connecting Kikai to mainland Japan.

Location
Kikai, Japan
Kikai Airport (IATA: KKX, ICAO: RJKI) is a small regional airport located on Kikai Island (Kikaijima) in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The island is part of the Amami Islands chain in the northern Ryukyu Islands, situated in the East China Sea. The airport primarily serves inter-island and domestic routes, providing a vital link for the approximately 8,000 residents of Kikai Island to larger urban centers such as Kagoshima and Amami.
