Yamaguchi Ube Airport Webcam

If admiring planes in close-up is what rocks your boat then you’ll love this live feed being streamed from Yamaguchi Ube Airport in Japan. You’ll also thoroughly enjoy it if you like to watch jet bridges being manoeuvred into place so passengers can board or disembark. If you like runway action more than either of the previously mentioned, you may well get frustrated with this feed.

Yamaguchi Ube Airport is just one of several airports on Honshu Island and has been operating since the mid-60s. It’s not the busiest by any means. That unbeatable accolade belongs to Tokyo International Airport which caters for over seventy-five million passengers a year while Yamaguchi Ube Airport caters for more or less a million.

While it may be smaller and not so busy, the two-thousand, five-hundred metre long runway at Yamaguchi Ube Airport is long enough to accommodate both domestic and international flights. And does so on a daily basis. The majority of passenger traffic passing through the airport though is heading to or returning from Tokyo. Incoming and outgoing flights average approximately eight thousand annually which is, as far as international airports go, not a lot, and this webcam is focused on one gate out of three, so to see aircraft movement you’ll need to be patient.
