RJOA Hiroshima Airport

Hiroshima Airport (広島空港, Hiroshima Kūkō) is located in the city of Mihara, roughly 50km east of Hiroshima city. Opened in 1993 to replace the cramped, seaside Hiroshima-Nishi Airport, it was designed specifically to handle the wide-body jets that the old airport couldn't. It has since become a critical hub for the "Setouchi" region.

RJOA is the largest airport in the Chugoku region and was built atop a leveled mountain plateau, making it a "tabletop" airport similar to others in Japan, like Kochi or Kumamoto making it a beautiful scenery all around the airport.

While ANA and JAL dominate the domestic routes to Tokyo (Haneda), the airport also sees international traffic from across Asia (Seoul, Taipei, Shanghai), making it suitable for both the medium and wide-body aircraft.

RWY 10 features a massive approach lighting bridge extending out over the valley and a CATIII ILS approach.

RWY 28 involves a circling approach over the terrain if the winds aren't in your favor or a VOR and RNP approach.
