Airport classifications
List of Airports in Japan as of October 2019 - What's going on Aviators!! Today's video is very special. Today's video is about the list of airports in Japan! Japan has a total of 110 operational airports.
In Japan, airports serving civil aviation routes are governed by the Aeronautical Law for safety purposes, by the Noise Prevention Law for noise prevention purposes and by the Airport Development Law for economic development purposes. The latter law groups such airports into four legal classifications:
- Hub/First Class airports (æ ç¹ç©ºæ¸¯) serve a hub role in domestic or international transportation. They are subdivided into privately managed airports (the three largest international airports), national airports (run by the central government) and special regional airports (hubs run by prefectural or municipal governments).
- Regional/Second Class airports (å°æ¹ç®¡ç空港) are other prefectural/municipal airports that the central government deems important to national aviation.
- Joint-use/Third Class airports (å ±ç"¨ç©ºæ¸¯) are those shared between civil aviation and the Japan Self-Defense Forces.
- Other airports (ãã®ä»ã®ç©ºæ¸¯) fall outside the above categories.
Some airports in Japan do not fall under the scope of the Japanese airport statutes. These include the three major U.S. military air bases in Japan (Kadena Air Base, MCAS Iwakuni and Yokota Air Base) and certain smaller aerodromes for firefighting, corporate or other special purposes. In 2001, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, which receives 20% of the public-works construction budget, commenced a scheme to build airfields predominantly for airlifting vegetables. Kasaoka Airfield was one of nine airfields constructed; however it was later determined that flying vegetables to Okayama from Kasaoka took just as long due to loading and unloading, and cost approximately six times as much as road transport.
