Osaka International Airport (RJOO)


Osaka, Japan (JP)
Osaka International Airport (Ōsaka Kokusai Kūkō) (IATA airport code: ITM, ICAO airport code: RJOO) is the primary domestic airport for the Kansai region of Japan, including the major cities of Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe. It is classified as a first class airport.

The airport is often called Itami Airport (伊丹空港) because most of its land is located in Itami, Hyogo Prefecture. However, the terminal complex is located in Toyonaka, Osaka Prefecture, and the only access from the Itami side is via a long tunnel that passes below the runway and apron.

Despite its "international" designation, the airport's scheduled air traffic is entirely domestic. Kansai International Airport took over Osaka's international traffic in 1994 and competes with Itami for domestic traffic. Itami will also face competition from Kobe Airport when that airport is completed.
