is an international
airport located on an island, part of the city of
Omura,
Nagasaki Prefecture,
Japan.Although Nagasaki is superficially similar to Japan's other island airports,
Kansai International Airport,
Kobe Airport,
New Kitakyushu Airport, and
Chubu Centrair International Airport, Nagasaki's island existed (in a radically different shape) before the airport was constructed. Constructing the airport required flattening the island's hills and forming landfill around its shore, expanding it from 900 km² to 1,540 km². The airport opened on
May 1,
1975.
