Chubu International Airport is a future airport of Nagoya, Japan. It will be named after the Chubu region, which Nagoya is in. The airport will actually be in the Ise Bay, near Nagoya and in the Aichi prefecture.

Chubu will be Japan's second off-shore airport. The first is Kansai International Airport near Osaka, Japan.

Chubu will take over most, if not all of the flights that Komaki International Airport already has.

The construction could start in August 2003, and the airport may be completed by March 2005. The budget is 768,000,000 yen.
