Fukuoka Airport (IATA code: FUK, ICAO code: RJFF), formerly known as Itazuke Air Base, is an international and domestic airport located 1.6 nautical miles (3.0 km; 1.8 miles) east of Hakata Station in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka, Japan. It is the principal airport on the island of Kyushu and is the fourth busiest passenger airport in Japan.
Although Fukuoka is known as one of the most convenient airports in Japan, it is constrained both by its inner-city location and by its single runway. Operations at the airport began to exceed its capacity of 145,000 annual flights in 2012. The Japan Civil Aviation Bureau has announced that Fukuoka will be designated as a "congested airport" (IATA Level 3) from late March 2016, meaning that the airport will be subject to slot restrictions and operators will have to receive 5-year permits from JCAB in order to operate at FUK.
There are two terminals in the airport, one for international flights and the other for domestic flights. In 2018, the airport handled a total of 24,845,458 passengers, among which 6,918,571 were bound for international destinations.
