It is the only airport in Saga prefecture, and as part of the airport utilization promotion measures (fare subsidy) by the prefecture and the local business community, it is possible to use a shared taxi between Kohoku Town and the airport (about 50 minutes, ¥1500).

In addition, Fukuoka Airport is the nearest airport other than the service route of Saga Airport, and it connects with Kohoku Town via the Fukuoka Municipal Subway that connects the airport and Hakata Station, or the bus that connects the airport and Saga Station.
