Location

Minamidaito, Japan

Minamidaito Airport (IATA: MMD, ICAO: ROMD) is a small regional airport located on Minamidaito Island, a remote coral island in the Philippine Sea belonging to Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. The airport serves as the primary air link connecting the island's small population to the Okinawan mainland. The airport handles limited scheduled domestic flights, primarily operated by Japan Air Commuter (JAC), connecting Minamidaito to Naha and Kitadaito. Given the island's isolation and small size, air travel is essential for residents and visitors alike, as there is no regular ferry service that is practical year-round.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building befitting its remote island setting and low passenger volumes.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on Minamidaito Island is extremely limited, with taxis and private vehicles being the primary means of travel between the airport and the island's settlements.
