Toki Air, an airline based at Niigata Airport, launched service between Chubu International Airport and Sapporo’s Okadama Airport. This marks the first time the airline has operated flights that do not originate or terminate at Niigata Airport. The route will operate four days a week—Friday through Monday—with one round-trip flight per day.
Niigata Airport
Niigata Airport is a major regional airport in Niigata, Japan, which opened in 1972. It serves as an important international and domestic gateway to the Sea of Japan coast region, with its history including its use as a U.S. military base before reverting to full civilian control in 1970.
Chubu International Airport
Chubu International Airport, also known as Centrair, is a major aviation hub located on an artificial island in Ise Bay near Nagoya, Japan. It opened in 2005 to replace the older Nagoya Airport and is renowned for its modern, passenger-friendly design. The airport features a large domestic section and a significant rooftop observation deck, serving as a key gateway to Japan’s central Chubu region.
Okadama Airport
Okadama Airport is a regional airport located in Sapporo, Japan, which opened in 1931 as a military airfield before transitioning to civilian use after World War II. It primarily serves short-distance domestic flights and played a crucial role in connecting Hokkaido’s capital with other regional cities before the opening of New Chitose Airport. Today, it functions mainly for commuter flights and general aviation.
