## Description

A working airport with zero scheduled flights — that is the reality forwarders need to know about Fukui Airport (FKJ) in Japan's Hokuriku region. Scheduled services ended decades ago; today the roughly 1,200-metre runway hosts general aviation, training flights and helicopter operations only. The prefecture's passengers and air cargo use Komatsu Airport (KMQ) in neighbouring Ishikawa, and since 2024 the extended Hokuriku Shinkansen has linked Fukui directly with Tokyo. The local economy is far from sleepy: the town of Sabae produces the bulk of Japan's eyeglass frames, alongside textiles and chemicals. Those exports move via Komatsu, Kansai (KIX) or the seaports — not via FKJ.
