Oita Airport (大分空港, Ōita Kūkō) (IATA: OIT, ICAO: RJFO) is an airport in Kunisaki, Ōita, Japan, 16 NM (30 km; 18 mi) northeast[2] of Ōita.

The airport is accessible by bus but not by train.[3] Hovercraft service to Oita was available[4] until 2009, the last hovercraft service to operate in Japan. In 2020, Oita Prefecture announced it would reintroduce hovercraft service to Oita city in 2023 with three new hovercraft.[5]

This airport is classified as hub/first class airport.

In 2021 the now defunct Virgin Orbit announced plans to use Oita Airport for its launch site.[6]
