The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 8,200 ft / 2,499 m.

These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at matsuyama-airport.co.jp, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for MYJ
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
MYJ uses Asia/Tokyo (JST, UTC+09:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Matsuyama Airport is about 68 km from central Matsuyama; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
HIJ Hiroshima is the closest retained alternate at 71 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
matsuyama-airport.co.jp is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place MYJ inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
MYJ ranks #11 in the curated Japan airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 18 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
MYJ shares Asia/Tokyo with CTS Sapporo JP · FUK Fukuoka JP · HIJ Hiroshima JP · HND Tokyo JP · HSG Saga JP · ITM Osaka JP. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
MYJ is 25 ft (8 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include MYR 25 ft (8 m) (0 ft delta) · GLA 26 ft (8 m) (1 ft delta) · KIX 26 ft (8 m) (1 ft delta) · ORF 26 ft (8 m) (1 ft delta) · TKS 26 ft (8 m) (1 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
MYJ's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are HIJ 71 km +0h · OKJ 148 km +0h · KKJ 154 km +0h · TKS 179 km +0h.

Airport Details
Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Because the airport sits well outside central Matsuyama, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Hiroshima is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Matsuyama Airport has 5 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from MYJ, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
