Opened in 1940 as the Imperial Japanese Army's Tama Airfield and taken over by US forces after 1945, Yokota Air Base (OKO) in Fussa, western Tokyo, has been an American military installation for eight decades. It hosts the 374th Airlift Wing flying C-130J transports, along with the headquarters of US Forces Japan and the 5th Air Force. The roughly 3,350-metre runway handles military airlift and occasional government flights only — there is no commercial cargo terminal, no civilian handling agent and no scheduled freighter service. Freight forwarders should disregard the OKO code entirely: civilian air cargo for the Tokyo region moves through Haneda (HND) or Narita (NRT). The base does matter to logistics in one sense, serving as a staging point for US humanitarian and disaster-relief airlift across the Western Pacific.
