Hiroshima Airport
Hiroshima Airport (広島空港, Hiroshima Kūkō) (IATA: HIJ, ICAO: RJOA) is an airport in the city of Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. Located 50 km (31 mi) east of Hiroshima, it is the largest airport in the Chūgoku region.
History
New Hiroshima Airport opened for public use in 1993 as a replacement for Hiroshima Airport, which was renamed Hiroshima-Nishi Airport. The old airport was located in a more central waterfront location, but was too small to handle widebody aircraft and could not be expanded. In 1994, New Hiroshima Airport was renamed Hiroshima Airport.
The airport's single runway opened with a length of 2,500 m (700 m longer than Hiroshima-Nishi). The runway was extended to 3,000 m in 2001, and its instrument landing system was upgraded to CAT-IIIa in 2008 and CAT-IIIb in 2009.
