Nagoya Airport (NKM/RJNA), commonly called Komaki Airport, is a joint civil-military airfield north of Nagoya. It served as the city's main airport until Chubu Centrair International Airport opened in 2005, and today handles mostly domestic flights, general aviation, and JASDF Komaki Air Base operations. Its compact terminal is best known as the hub of Fuji Dream Airlines.
💡 Local Tip
Locals call it Komaki Airport, not Nagoya Airport; if you ask for 'Nagoya Airport' you may be sent to Centrair. Use 'Komaki Kuko' when giving directions to taxi or bus drivers.
🚖 Getting There
Take the Meitetsu bus from Nagoya Station's Meitetsu Bus Center; journey time is about 25-40 minutes depending on traffic. Local buses also connect from nearby Komaki Station on the Meitetsu Komaki Line, and taxis or rental cars are available. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours, as road traffic around Komaki can be heavy.
