Osaka International Airport

There are two airports in Osaka.
One is Kansai International Airport(Kanku) and the other one is Osaka International Airport(Itami).

While all internatinal flights depart from Kanku, Itami is still popular because of convenient location.

Enjoy your trip to Itami first!

Thanks everyone for your interest.
Actually Itami is now only for domestic flights use but still about six million passengers use this airport annually, mainly to Tokyo.

Background is Osaka city in the west and Rokko mountains in the east.
Quite nice combination of city and mountain view.


Itami is also one of the least delayed airports in the world according to Forbes.

I'm afraid something was wrong with my uploaded pictures.
I again added from the beginning, though order changed a little.

No problems seeing the pics.

Great pics - some of those would be worthy of Airliners.net!
