## Description

After the March 2011 Tohoku earthquake, Fukushima Airport (FKS) became a lifeline of the relief effort, staying open for evacuation and aid flights while coastal infrastructure lay damaged. In normal times the airport, opened in 1993 in the hills near Sukagawa, is a quiet regional field: ANA serves Osaka Itami, supplemented by seasonal and charter traffic, notably from Taiwan. Air cargo is negligible — small belly consignments only — so forwarders truck the prefecture's freight to Haneda (HND) or Narita (NRT). The Tohoku Expressway and the Koriyama Shinkansen station provide the area's main transport arteries. Local industry includes electronics, precision machinery and renewable energy projects established in the post-2011 reconstruction.
