    Yakushima Airport (屋久島空港, Yakushima Kūkō) (IATA: KUM, ICAO: RJFC) is an airport located on the island of YakushimainKumage District, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. It lies by the coast, between the towns of Anbō and Miyanoura.

    History

    [edit]

    The airport was opened in 1963 with an 1100-meter runway. The runway was extended to 1200 meters in 1975 and to 1500 meters in 1976. The runway was hardened in 2004 so as to allow DHC-8-400 aircraft to operate.[2]

    A further extension to 2000m has been approved, which will allow jet aircraft to operate.[3] The master plan and environmental assessment for the extension are to be prepared in 2023.[4] Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced in April 2024 that it had adopted the project to extend the runway to 2,000m starting this fiscal year.

    Facilities

    [edit]

    The airport has a single terminal building with apron parking for two propeller aircraft. It is operational from 8:30 to 19:30 daily.[2]
