## Description

Tanegashima, a slim island south of Kyushu, hosts Japan's principal orbital launch site — the JAXA Tanegashima Space Center — and a small airfield to match: New Tanegashima Airport (IATA: TNE), opened in 2006. Japan Air Commuter's ATR turboprops shuttle several times daily to Kagoshima (KOJ), and no freight is handled; cargo for the island moves via KOJ or by ferry. Even the H3 rocket stages arrive by ship at the island's port rather than by air. For supply-chain purposes, TNE is a passenger feeder only.
