## Description

Military traffic sets the rhythm at Misawa: the airfield in Aomori Prefecture is shared by the US Air Force and Japan's Self-Defense Forces, with civil operations limited to a handful of daily JAL flights to Haneda. Misawa Airport (IATA: MSJ, ICAO: RJSM) offers no civilian cargo handling. Regional export goods — Aomori apples, squid from the Hachinohe fishing port, electronics components — are trucked by forwarders to Tokyo's Haneda and Narita airports or shipped through the seaport of Hachinohe. For freight planning purposes, MSJ functions purely as a passenger stop.
