Kobe Airport
Kobe Airport (神戸空港 Kōbe Kūkō) (IATA: UKB, ICAO: RJBE) is an airport on an
artificial island just off the coast of Kobe, 8 km (5.0 mi) south of
Sannomiya Station Japan. It primarily handles domestic flights, but can also
accommodate international charter flights.
Kobe has a single passenger terminal with four gates capable of
accommodating widebody aircraft.
Some international charter flights also use Kobe Airport. Although the
airport's runway is not long enough to handle long-range flights to Europe
and the Americas, it occasionally handles charters to China and other nearby
countries.
On February 2, 2006, Kobe Airport Station (神戸空港駅) was connected to Sannomiya
Station in central Kobe by an extension of the existing Port Liner automated
guideway transit system, using 2000 series trains as well as some older 8000
series trains (older trains being gradually replaced by newer 2000 ones).
Travel time to Sannomiya is 16 minutes. From Sannomiya, it is 21 minutes to
Ōsaka Station and 49 minutes to Kyoto Station by JR special rapid express.
Kobe Airport is connected to Kansai Airport by the Kobe-Kanku Bay Shuttle
(神戸-関空ベイ・シャトル), a high speed ferry which completes the airport-to-airport
journey in 29 minutes.
Air Do, All Nippon Airways, Solaseed Air and Skymark Airlines offer
scheduled commercial flights from this Airport.
