丘珠機場 / Okadama Airport

丘珠機場（位於札幌市東區）於1942年開始運行。從1961年開始有民間的航空公司利用。至今，北海道內有利尻島、函館、釧路，北海道以外有青森、靜岡、長野之間有固定航班。此外，也有觀光遊覽飛機的起降場。跑道只有1500米對於噴射客機來說很短，是否要擴大延伸機場也受到了討論。冬天容易受到降雪的影響。

Okadama Airport (Sapporo City, Higashi-ku) opened in 1942, and private airline companies have used it as a hub for their regular flights since 1961. Now, the airport connects to six destinations - Rishiri Island, Hakodate and Kushiro in Hokkaido, and Aomori, Shizuoka, and Nagano in Honshu. Also, Okadama Airport is the base for sightseeing flights of small airplanes or helicopters to view the central part of Sapporo. At 1500 meters, the runaway is not long enough to accommodate the landing or take off of jet airplanes. Thus, an extension of the length has been discussed but it’s as yet undecided because there are many houses around and the area has adverse weather conditions in winter, usually involving heavy snow.
