Miyakejima Airport

Miyakejima Airport (IATA: MYE, ICAO: RJTQ) is a small regional airport located on Miyakejima Island, one of the Izu Islands administered as part of the Tokyo Metropolis in Japan. The airport provides a vital air link between this remote volcanic island and Tokyo, complementing the ferry services that also serve the island. The airport has a single runway and handles primarily small turboprop aircraft on domestic routes. Its operations have historically been affected by volcanic activity from Mount Oyama, the island's active volcano, which caused the entire population to be evacuated in 2000 and the airport to be closed for an extended period. Following the lifting of evacuation orders in 2005, both the island and its airport resumed normal operations. The airport remains an essential lifeline for residents and visitors, given the island's location roughly 180 kilometers south of central Tokyo.
