Yao Airport is a small public airport located in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. It primarily serves general aviation, flight training, and aerial work operations rather than scheduled commercial passenger services. The airport is operated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The facility hosts several flight schools and is a key training base for pilots in the Kinki region. It also supports helicopter operations and small private aircraft. Due to its proximity to Osaka Itami Airport and Kansai International Airport, it does not handle commercial airline traffic. Despite its modest size, Yao Airport plays an important role in Japan's general aviation infrastructure, providing essential facilities for the training of future aviators and supporting local aerial operations.
