Fukushima Airport, Commercial airport in Sukagawa, Japan.
Fukushima Airport is a commercial airport in Sukagawa featuring a 2,500-meter runway made of asphalt and concrete at an elevation of 372 meters. The facility operates scheduled services connecting the region to larger cities across Japan.
Operations began in January 1993 following construction that started in 1988. This opening marked a turning point in air transportation for the Fukushima region.
The terminal building served as a filming location for the final episode of the television drama 'Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World' in 2004.
Regular bus services connect to stations such as Koriyama and Iwaki, making arrival and departure easy for travelers. These connections help visitors reach larger urban centers in the area without difficulty.
After the 2011 earthquake, flight demand increased here as the bullet train service to Tokyo was temporarily halted. During this period, the airport played a more critical role in regional transportation than it normally would.
