History

Ōshima Airport opened in June 1964 with a runway that was 1,200 metres long. In October 2002, the runway was made longer to 1,800 metres so jet planes could use it. Starting in August 2008, All Nippon Airways flew every day to Haneda Airport in Tokyo. Another airline, New Central Airservice, began flying to Chofu Airport in 2009. However, ANA stopped its flights to Ōshima in October 2015. Since July 9, 2021, the airport has also been called Tokyo Oshima Camellia Airport.
