## Description

Around 9 km east of central Hakodate, HKD pairs a 3,000 m runway with a compact domestic cargo shed handling belly freight on JAL and ANA services to Tokyo-Haneda. The airport's signature traffic is fresh seafood – squid, sea urchin and crab from the Tsugaru Strait – flown out same-day in passenger holds, with an ANA Cargo acceptance office on site. International links such as Taipei are seasonal and passenger-driven. For freighter capacity or international export consolidation, forwarders route via New Chitose (CTS) or Tokyo-Narita. The Hokkaido Shinkansen at Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto adds a fast rail option toward Honshu for time-critical surface legs.
