## Description

Hokkaido Air System (HAC), a JAL group regional carrier, runs its ATR turboprop network out of Sapporo Okadama Airport (IATA: OKD), linking the prefectural capital with Hakodate, Kushiro, Rishiri and Okushiri. The field sits barely six kilometres from downtown Sapporo, which makes it convenient for passengers but irrelevant for freight: there is no cargo terminal, and the 1,500 m runway rules out narrowbody operations. All air cargo for the Sapporo area — Hokkaido's seafood and farm exports included — moves through New Chitose (CTS), south of the city. Forwarders should book CTS by default and treat Okadama purely as a regional commuter field. Heavy winter snowfall is managed impressively well, keeping HAC's island services running through the season.
