Airport Key Facts

Arriving by private jet at Oki Airport eliminates the constraints of infrequent commercial connections from Osaka or Izumo, granting travellers total flexibility over their island schedule.

About Oki Airport

Oki Airport (IATA: OKI, ICAO: RJNO) is a publicly operated regional airport managed under Shimane Prefecture, providing the Oki Islands with their only fixed-wing air link to the Japanese mainland. The facility handles turboprop and smaller regional jet operations, with its 2,000-metre runway accommodating light and mid-size aircraft with ease. Terminal facilities are modest but functional, reflecting the island’s character, and customs formalities for arriving private charter passengers are processed efficiently through standard Japanese domestic aviation procedures. The airport holds particular importance for the local community and visiting travellers alike, given the limited ferry alternatives during adverse Sea of Japan weather conditions. Its position within the Oki Islands UNESCO Global Geopark makes it one of Japan’s most scenically distinctive regional airports.
