About Fukuoka Airport

Fukuoka faces East Asian weather patterns including typhoons. Located closer to Korea than most Japanese airports.

Is Fukuoka Airport turbulent?

Fukuoka sits on the northern coast of Kyushu, exposed to weather from both the Sea of Japan and approaching typhoons. The airport's location makes it vulnerable to Asian dust events in spring when sand from China and Mongolia drifts across Japan. Typhoon season brings occasional closures.

Located on northern Kyushu coast
Exposed to Sea of Japan weather and Asian dust
Typhoon risk June through October

What is Asian dust and how does it affect flights?

Asian dust (yellow dust) originates from deserts in China and Mongolia and blows across Japan in spring. Severe events can reduce visibility and affect air quality. Fukuoka's western location means it's one of the first Japanese airports affected. Most events don't close the airport but can cause delays.

When is the best time to fly from Fukuoka?

Early summer (June) and autumn (September-November) offer the most stable conditions. Spring brings Asian dust risk. Typhoon season peaks August-September. Winter sees occasional Sea of Japan storms but rarely major disruptions.

Is turbulence at Fukuoka dangerous?

No. Modern aircraft are designed to withstand forces far stronger than turbulence. While bumps can feel uncomfortable, they do not pose a safety risk. Pilots actively avoid rough air whenever possible. Learn more about turbulence

Best seats to reduce turbulence when flying from Fukuoka?

Seats near the wings feel the least movement because they are closest to the aircraft's center of gravity. Seats at the back of the aircraft feel turbulence more strongly. Learn more about seat selection
