Location
Saga, Japan
Kyushu Saga International Airport (IATA: HSG, ICAO: RJFS) is a regional airport serving Saga City and the broader Saga Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan. It handles a modest volume of passengers on domestic routes to Tokyo and select international charter and scheduled services, particularly to destinations in China and South Korea.
The airport has been promoted as an alternative gateway to the Fukuoka metropolitan area, given its relative proximity and less congested facilities. Saga Prefecture has actively invested in expanding international routes to attract tourists and boost regional commerce.
In 2023, the airport was rebranded and repositioned as 'Kyushu Saga International Airport' to emphasize its international ambitions and broader regional role within Kyushu.
