Miyako Islands are a group of islands that have beautiful coral reefs, and one of the most popular year-round resort destinations in Okinawa Prefecture. In 2019, the airport had 1.74 million passengers, making it the third busiest airport in Okinawa Prefecture.^{[citation needed]} Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Japan Transocean Air, and Ryukyu Air Commuter serve the airport.

Shimojishima Airport, which has a 3,000 m (9,800 ft) runway, is nearby, and Jetstar Japan began regular flights there in 2019. Skymark Airlines also began operating flights to Shimojishima Airport after that, so the two airports are in competition with each other.^{[citation needed]}
