Naha Airport (那覇空港 Naha Kūkō?) (IATA: OKA, ICAO: ROAH) is a second class airport located in the city of Naha, Okinawa.
The primary air terminal for passengers and freight traveling to and from Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, the airport handles international traffic to Taiwan, Korea, China, and the Philippines. Japan's fifth largest airport, it also carries domestic flights to Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) and many other cities on Japan's four main islands. Naha is also a hub for service to other locations in Okinawa, including Ishigaki Airport. In all, flights connect Naha to more than 30 destinations. Its single 3000 m runway handles in excess of 150 flights daily. The governor has expressed his interest to build a second runway to accomodate flights, to be operational by 2015.[1]
The Okinawa Monorail carries passengers from Naha Airport Station to the center of Naha, and to the terminal at Shuri Station, which is closest to Shuri Castle. In addition, bus service is available to many parts of Okinawa Island. Extensive parking lots are available as well.
