Japan Airlines (JAL), Skymark Airlines, and Japan Air Commuter (JAC) operate regular domestic services linking Amami with Tokyo (Haneda), Osaka (Itami), Fukuoka, Kagoshima, and other nearby islands such as Tokunoshima and Okinoerabu. These connections make the airport an important hub for regional transport in southern Japan.
