Operating hoursPublished aerodrome/tower hours approx. 0730-2230 local daily (not H24); operating hours have been extended ad hoc for special events (e.g. overnight arrivals were accepted for the May 2023 G7 Hiroshima Summit). International flights operate to a customs/immigration/quarantine schedule tied to the scheduled flight bank rather than continuous coverage; charter or irregular operations outside published hours require PPR coordination with the airport operator.
TerminalsSingle passenger terminal (opened 1993, approx. 31,000 sqm over three floors, designed for roughly 3.7 million annual passengers) with separated domestic (gates A1/A2-D) and international (gates E-H) sections, nine gates in total
Runways (1)
- 10/28 · 3,000 m / 9,843 ft · 60 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS CAT IIIb on RWY10 only (one of Japan's few CAT IIIb-capable runways, enabling very-low-visibility landings from the west; the localizer was damaged in the April 2015 Asiana Airlines OZ162 landing accident and was repaired and restored to full CAT IIIb service later in 2015); RWY28 has no ILS (RNP/RNAV(GNSS) and visual approaches only)
Airport contact
Hiroshima's main air gateway sits roughly 50 km east of the city in Mihara, with no rail link — ground access is by limousine bus (around 53 minutes to downtown) or car, and about 80% of domestic traffic flows to/from Tokyo Haneda. Privatised on 1 July 2021 under a 30-year concession to Hiroshima International Airport Co. (a Mitsubishi Estate-led consortium including Chugoku Electric Power, Mitsui Fudosan, Hiroshima Bank and Mazda among 16 investors), one of Japan's earlier full airport concessions. FY2025 traffic was a provisional 2,954,942 passengers (national rank 16), up from FY2024's 2,868,909; figures are treated as provisional until the operator/MLIT finalise the fiscal-year count. RWY10's CAT IIIb ILS gives Hiroshima unusually robust low-visibility capability for a regional Japanese airport.
