Kōnan Airport
Kōnan Airport is a public aerodrome located about eight kilometers south of Okayama Station in Minami-ku, Okayama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan.History
The airport opened on October 13, 1962 as Okayama Airport. It had scheduled service by All Nippon Airways and Toa Domestic Airlines ; however, the runway was too short to accommodate jet service, and the largest aircraft that could reliably use the airport was the NAMC YS-11.
On March 11, 1988, concurrently with the opening of new Okayama Airport, Konan became an airport exclusively for small planes under the present name.
A ten-seat Cessna jet overshot the runway at the airport on June 10, 2015, landing in a nearby lake.
