Location

Kumamoto, Japan

Kumamoto Airport (IATA: KMJ, ICAO: RJFT) is the principal commercial airport serving Kumamoto City and the surrounding Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan. It handles both domestic and international flights, connecting the region to major Japanese hubs as well as select Asian destinations. The airport is located in Mashiki Town, approximately 20 kilometers east of central Kumamoto City. It serves as an important regional gateway, particularly given Kumamoto's significance as a prefectural capital and a city recovering from the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes. A large-scale terminal redevelopment project has been underway to modernize the airport's facilities, with a new terminal building planned to improve passenger capacity and experience.

The airport operates a single passenger terminal handling both domestic and international departures, with redevelopment efforts ongoing to expand and modernize facilities.
