Location

Kumejima, Japan

Kumejima Airport (IATA: UEO, ICAO: ROKJ) is a small regional airport serving Kumejima, an island in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. It provides essential air connectivity between the island and the Okinawan mainland, primarily through flights to Naha Airport. The airport handles a modest volume of passengers, mostly domestic travelers and tourists attracted by Kumejima's beaches, coral reefs, and natural scenery. Its infrastructure reflects the scale of a small island community rather than a major hub. Given its remote island location, the airport plays a vital role in the daily life of Kumejima residents, offering a practical alternative to the ferry services that also connect the island to Okinawa's main island.
