or Hanamaki Airport is an airport located north-northeastAIS Japan of the center of Hanamaki, Iwate Prefecture, Japan.
History Hanamaki Airport first opened in 1964 with a 1,200-meter runway. It was later extended to 2,000 meters in 1983 allowing jet service to operate from the airport. On 4 April 2009, a new terminal building was opened on the opposite side of the runway, replacing the now-defunct old terminal building that is situated next to Route 4. Due to this change, Nitanai Station became the nearest train station to the terminal building; however, there is no bus or taxi service at that station, and Hanamaki Airport Station remains the most convenient for access.
