History
K?chi Airport was originally built in 1944 as K?chi Airfield for the Imperial Japanese Navy and from 1945 to 1952 the airport was under command of US forces. The airfield became a civilian airport in 1952 and first flights started operating in 1954. The runway was expanded in 1960 and 1980 and later to 2,500 metres (8,202 ft) to handle larger aircraft. In November 2003 it became the first airport in Japan to be nicknamed after a person: Bakumatsu period leader Sakamoto Ry?ma.
