Location

Nagoya (Komaki), Japan

Nagoya Airport, known by its IATA code NKM and officially designated JASDF Komaki Air Base, is a joint-use civil and military airport located in Komaki city, just north of central Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It served as the primary international airport for the Nagoya region until Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) opened in 2005, after which most commercial and international traffic transferred to the new facility. Following the shift to Centrair, Nagoya Airport now handles a reduced schedule of domestic flights, primarily operated by FDA (Fuji Dream Airlines), alongside continued operations by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. The airport retains significance as a hub for regional domestic connectivity and military aviation. The airport is also closely associated with the nearby Mitsubishi Aircraft facility, where development work on the Mitsubishi SpaceJet (formerly MRJ) regional jet was conducted, reflecting the broader aerospace manufacturing heritage of the Nagoya area.

Terminals

The airport has a single civil passenger terminal handling domestic flights, while the remainder of the airfield is devoted to JASDF military operations.

Getting to & from

The airport is accessible by bus connecting to Nagoya city center and nearby rail stations, with no direct rail link to the terminal.
