Fukuoka Airport, formerly known as Itazuke Air Base, is an international and domestic airport located 1.6 NM (3.0 km; 1.8 mi) east of Hakata Station in Fukuoka, Japan. It is officially designated a second class airport. It is operating at full capacity, and cannot be further expanded. Flights stop at 10 p.m. at the request of local residents and resume operation at 7 a.m.
The airport is located in Hakata-ku, south-east of the city centre. It is connected to the rest of the city by Fukuoka City Subway and road, and a subway from the airport to the business district takes less than ten minutes.
Fukuoka Airport is the fourth busiest passenger airport in Japan. In 2006, it was used by 18.1 million people and there were 137,000 takeoffs and landings.
There is only one runway of 2800 metres, and the airport is surrounded by residential areas and the approach is reminiscent of the old Hong Kong airport, Kai Tak International.
In the mid-1990s, Delta Air Lines operated a non-stop flight between Fukuoka and Portland, Oregon, where the airline once operated its trans-pacific hub. When the route was dropped due to financial pressure, Fukuoka lost its first and only non-stop service to the mainland U.S. Hawaiian Airlines will launch nonstop service between Fukuoka and Honolulu, Hawaii when Hawaiian Airlines begins service on 17 April 2012. Fukuoka once again regained its first and only nonstop service to the United States when Delta began launched the route to Honolulu on 28 December 2011.
First established in 1943 as an Imperial Japanese Army Air Force Airfield, after the war Fukuoka Airport was the site the United States Air Force Itazuke Air Base until 1972.
Cache is hidden on the north side of the airport.
福岡空港は中心市街地から至近距離に位置しアクセスに優れており「世界有数の便利な空港」として知られています。福岡市地下鉄空港線が乗り入れ、福岡空港駅から博多駅までは約6分、天神駅までは約11分で結びます。福岡高速道路のランプも至近で九州自動車道太宰府インターチェンジへも15 - 20分程度で行けるため、日本国内では最も利便性の優れた空港の一つです。
福岡空港の年間発着回数14万回（国内線12.6万回、国際線1.4万回）は、羽田、成田に次いで国内で3番目に多い。2800m滑走路1本による運用のため、滑走路1本あたりの離着陸回数が日本で最も多い。かつては南側からの進入となる34番滑走路への旋回着陸（サークリング・アプローチ）も多く行われていましたが、この場合市街地上空を長時間飛行することになるため、航空機運航は海側からの離着陸を基本とする航空機騒音軽減運航（優先滑走路方式）を採用しており、多少の追い風でも玄界灘側の滑走路16を使用します。
cacheは空港の北側に設置しました。滑走路16を使用するときの迫力をお楽しみください。
