Opened on June 4, 2009,[2] the airport has domestic service to Sapporo, Fukuoka, Naha (Okinawa), Komatsu, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima.

[3] International routes connect it to Ningbo, Seoul, Taipei, and Shanghai.

The airport was originally scheduled to open in March 2009, but was delayed by the shortening of the runway from 2,500 m (8,202 ft) to 2,200 m (7,218 ft), by the use of a displaced threshold that cannot be used for landing,[5] due to environmental and noise concerns.

[9] While the Tokaido Shinkansen line travels directly underneath the airport, there is no train station nor have any plans been made to build one.
