The New Chitose Airport ( japanese 新千歳空港 Shin-Chitose Kuko ) is a regional airport in the Japanese city of Chitose in the prefecture of Hokkaido and is located about six kilometers south of the city center. According to Japanese law, it is classified as a 2nd class airport and has a passenger volume of around 18 million passengers a year.
history
New Chitose opened in 1991 to replace the old Chitose Airport, which is now a JASDF base. Its IATA code was originally SPK, but it was later converted to the city code CTS. The smaller Okadama Airport in Sapporo has the IATA code OKD.
New Chitose became the first Japanese airport to be open 24 hours a day in 1994. During the 1990s the airport was called "international" and had regular connections to Europe and Oceania . Today the connections to Europe have ended.
The earthquake on September 6, 2018 caused damage to the check-in counters. All flights to and from the airport were canceled that day, national connections were served again the next day, international flights on September 8th.

The airport's two runways are to the east of the terminal (center building). There is a small freight terminal to the north and a new international terminal with five gates was built in the west of the terminal , which is connected to the center building via a connecting corridor.
