## Description

Navy training turboprops share the single runway with JAL and ANA jets: Tokushima Awaodori Airport (IATA: TKS) doubles as a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force air base. Civil traffic centres on the Tokyo Haneda trunk route, and the airport is named for the Awa Odori dance festival that fills the city every August. There are no freighter operations; Tokushima's exporters — LED pioneer Nichia among them — truck their airfreight roughly two and a half hours to Kansai International (KIX). Belly space on the Haneda flights covers urgent small consignments. Treat TKS as a passenger field with a military flavour, not a cargo point.
