Overview
JMSDF Tateyama Air Base (RJTE) sits in Tateyama, Japan, where it functions as a mid-sized airport. The field lies at an elevation of 10 feet. The field has no airline schedules, which keeps it focused on private and general aviation flying.
RJTE has no resident charter fleet; trips here are typically flown by operators repositioning from surrounding airports. Useful alternates include JGSDF Kisarazu Airfield (RJTK, 25 nm), Oshima Airport (OIM, 26 nm), and JMSDF Atsugi Air Base / Naval Air Facility Atsugi (NJA, 34 nm). At 984-foot, the runway favors turboprops and light general aviation over jet operations.
