Shouzo Nijimura International Airport



Shouzo Nijimura International Airport (虹村修国際空港) or SNIA, also known as Kaijo International Airport, was the main international airport serving the Greater Kaijo Area and was the main international gateway to Teiko until its closure in June 2019. It is located 65 mi southeast of Kaijo city center surrounded by rural and some suburbs and serves as a hub for Teiko Airlines, Kaijo Airlines and Rakuzan Air. It was managed by the Shouzo Nijimura International Airport Authority, a subsidiary of the Kaiba Corporation. Until 2019, the airport was considered as the busiest busiest single-runway airport in the world by passenger traffic. Plans to expand the airport did not materialize due to its proximity to the city center. Instead, a new Kurosaki Ichigo International Airport was constructed off the coast of Nozaki to replace SNIA by 2019. Other airports serving the Greater Kaijo Area includes Beika International Airport and Tetsuya Kuroko International Airport.

The airport is named after Teikonian scholar Shouzo Nijimura, the father of modern aviation in Teiko.
