Osaka has two airports

Itami is the domestic airport.

Kansai Kokusai Kuukou (Kansai International Airport) is the international airport.

Both are kinda far from downtown.

From Kansai Kokusai Kuukou there are trains:

Nankai Express to Namba Station (~40 minutes and ¥890)
JR Kuukou Line to Osaka Station (~65 minutes and ¥1160)
Nankai Limited Express Rapid to Namba (~30 minutes, and ¥1400).

There are also various airport buses for around the same price as trains. These take about an hour and go to various hotels and stations across the city.

From Itami there are various buses that take about 30 minutes. There are also two train lines: Osaka Monorail and Hankyu Takarazuka Line. These take around 20 minutes. It really depends where you are going.
