Future Developments in the Promotion of
Naha Airport as a Hub for Air Freight
Enhance convenience by leveraging the competitive advantage of its ideal geographic location
coupled with 24-hour operations (facilitating late pickup and consolidation);
Ranks third in Japan behind Narita and Kansai airports in terms of the volume of cargo handled
Okinawa–Asia Overnight Service
Cargo collected by 19:00 arrives in Okinawa around 01:00. Following efficient
transshipment at Naha Airport, which operates 24 hours a day, cargo is shipped to
five major Asian cities on early morning cargo flights. It goes without saying that
Naha Airport can provide the same overnight services for cargo flights originating
from various Asian countries bound for Japan.
