Serving around 27 million passengers a year, Japan’s Fukuoka Airport (FUK) is a mid-sized Asian airport and Japan’s 5th busiest.

For passengers who prefer door-to-door convenience, rental cars, taxis, and airport limousine buses offer service to downtown in 15-30 minutes.

Despite being a smaller airport with just a single runway, Fukuoka Airport handles high volumes of traffic efficiently thanks to a well-run air traffic control system and a smooth immigration and customs process.
