About Chubu Centrair International Airport

Overview

Chubu Centrair International Airport serves the greater Nagoya metropolitan area in Japan, located on an artificial island in Ise Bay. As a major international airport, it handles significant passenger and cargo traffic for the central Chubu region. The airport's strategic coastal location provides critical aviation infrastructure for Japan's economic heartland.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 15 ft MSL and coastal positioning create potential for marine-influenced weather patterns and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility scenarios typical of maritime environments, particularly during seasonal transition periods. The single runway (18/36) measuring 11,483 feet provides substantial operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types.

Notable Features

The airport is uniquely constructed on an artificial island, which introduces specific geographic considerations for approach and departure procedures. Its precise coordinates at 34.858398, 136.804993 place it in a region with potential for complex local wind interactions due to surrounding bay and terrain configurations. The long primary runway enables operations for wide-body international and cargo aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36's precision approach capability (PEM) indicates advanced navigational infrastructure supporting complex approach procedures. The extended runway length of 11,483 feet accommodates a wide range of aircraft performance envelopes and provides significant safety margins. Pilots should prepare for potential marine layer influences and be aware of potential wind shear conditions typical of coastal airport environments.
