Oita Airport

Oita Airport is connected by bus to various cities throughout the prefecture. The airport is not accessible by train. Hovercraft Oita Airport is connected to the prefectural capital, Ōita City, by daily hovercraft service. The hovercraft route was introduced in 1971, but discontinued in 2009 following a decline in ridership. In 2020, it was announced that hovercraft service would be reintroduced at Oita Airport with three new hovercraft. After a series of accidents during training caused a delay of more than a year from the originally scheduled start of operations, regular service began in July 2025. Whereas the route between Oita Airport and Ōita City takes about an hour by road, it takes about 35 minutes by hovercraft. ==Airlines and destinations==

• On February 22, 1964, Fuji Airlines Flight 902 [jp] traveling from Kagoshima Airport overran the runway upon landing at the former Oita Airport. The Convair CV-240 then fell into the dried-up Urakawa River, killing 20 of the 42 on board. The accident was caused by pilot error and poor structure of the former Oita Airport leading to closure of the former airport in 1971. There is a memorial for the victims at the site of the old runway. • At 14:10 on 28 January 2024, a HondaJet light business aircraft on a training flight from Oita Airport overshot the runway while landing and came to a stop on nearby grass, forcing the airport's closure for at least an hour and the cancellation of four flights. None of the three people aboard the plane were injured. ==Facilities==
