Naha Airport at a glance
Naha Airport is a medium airport in Tabukan Utara, Sangihe Islands, Sulawesi Utara (North Sulawesi), Indonesia, known to airline systems as NAH. The field elevation of 16 ft (5 m) is the number every arriving pilot dials against QNH — circuit heights and initial approach altitudes at WAMH are all figured from it. The airport handles scheduled commercial service, so expect controlled procedures, published approaches and commercial traffic in the pattern.
The single runway, 15/33, offers 3,597 ft (1096 m) of asp surface, without recorded lighting. Runway numbers give magnetic orientation: runway 15 points roughly 150° magnetic.

Flight-planning notes for Naha Airport
Density altitude is the quiet performance-killer at any field: on a hot day the 16 ft field elevation of Naha Airport can translate into a substantially higher density altitude, stretching take-off rolls and flattening climb rates — run the numbers rather than trusting the feel of a standard day. Expect published instrument procedures, controlled airspace and clearance requirements; slots and handling may apply to general aviation traffic.

Where this data comes from
The reference layer behind this page builds on the OurAirports dataset — a public-domain, community-maintained register of the world's airports that many flight planners and apps rely on — with equity records preserved from documented historical listings where the dataset is silent. Figures are carried as published: elevations as surveyed, coordinates as filed, runway dimensions as recorded. Nothing is estimated to fill a gap, and the whole layer regenerates from source on every site build, so corrections upstream arrive here automatically.
