Nagasaki Airport 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 0.9 km² to 1.54 km². The airport opened on May 1, 1975.
