Airport guide

Yamagata Airport (RJSC) is a medium airport in Higashine, Japan. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code RJSC or IATA code GAJ. It sits in Asia.

Yamagata Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Yamagata Airport sits near sea level at 353 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Tokyo. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
