## Description

Tour buses bound for the Asahiyama Zoo and the flower fields of Furano and Biei set the tone at Asahikawa Airport (AKJ) in central Hokkaido — this is a tourism-driven passenger airport, not a freight location. ANA, JAL and AirDo fly to Tokyo Haneda, and carriers from Taiwan serve the airport seasonally on the strength of inbound tourism. There is no cargo terminal and no integrator presence; only small belly consignments move on passenger flights. Freight from the region is trucked about two hours south to New Chitose (CTS), Hokkaido's actual cargo airport. Asahikawa itself is known for its furniture industry, whose products ship by road and sea.
