Centrair Airport in Nagoya

Home Japan Travel Guide Chubu Aichi Centrair Airport in Nagoya

Central Japan International Airport, or Centrair (airport code NGO), is located just outside Nagoya in Japan. It is Japan’s third most important international airport after Tokyo’s Narita Airport and Osaka’s Kansai Airport. It is also known as Chubu Airport. Constructed on a man-made island in the Bay of Ise, Centrair was opened in February 2005 in time for Expo 2005 Aichi. Taking over all international and most domestic air traffic from Nagoya’s Komaki Airport, it quickly became an important hub.
