Noto Airport (能登空港,Noto Kūkō) (IATA:NTQ,ICAO:RJNW), marketed asNoto Satoyama Airport (のと里山空港,Noto Satoyama Kūkō) and also unofficially known asWajima Airport (輪島空港,Wajima Kūkō) is adomesticairport located 6.4 NM (11.9 km; 7.4 mi) south southeast[2] of the city ofWajima on theNoto Peninsula ofIshikawa Prefecture,Japan.
The airport is a four-story building with twojetways. It is officially designated athird class airport.
Completed on July 7, 2003, Noto Airport is among Japan's newestgreenfield airports not constructed to replace an existing facility. Initially,All Nippon Airways (ANA) was only willing to operate one flight per day.[3] Ishikawa Prefecture thus suggested Japan's first occupancy guarantee agreement (搭乗率保証制度), in which ANA agreed to operate two daily flights and in exchange Ishikawa Prefecture agreed to compensate ANA if occupancy fell below a set target (initially 70%) and gross ticket sales were under 200 million yen. However, the agreement also specified that if the target is exceeded, ANA must pay the excess back to Ishikawa Prefecture.[3] So far, the agreement seems to have been mutually beneficial:
After the Noto earthquake on January 1 2024 the airport was temporarily closed.
