It is the airport closest to Osaka, being 11 km (6.8 mi) north of Osaka Station, as well as Kyoto, being 36 km (22 mi) southwest of Kyoto Station. Itami Airport has a small footprint, covering only 311 hectares (768 acres) of land. Until January 2025, the airport was known as Osaka International Airport (Ōsaka Kokusai Kūkō), which remains the airport's official Japanese name.
