## Description

In February, drift ice from the Sea of Okhotsk presses against the coastline just beyond the runway of Okhotsk-Monbetsu Airport (IATA: MBE, ICAO: RJEB) in north-eastern Hokkaido. The airfield handles a single scheduled service — ANA's daily Boeing 737-800 to Tokyo Haneda — and offers no cargo terminal, so freight from the region is trucked roughly 270 km to New Chitose (CTS) near Sapporo for air uplift. Belly space on the lone Haneda rotation is the only direct air-cargo option, suitable at best for documents or small urgent parcels. For logistics planning, treat Monbetsu as a passenger-only access point to the Okhotsk coast.
