History

The airport opened in July 1961 with a 1,200 meter runway. It has been expanded and upgraded several times; a taxiway parallel to the runway opened in 1988, a Category 3a instrument landing system (ILS) became operational in 1995, and a new passenger terminal, 2.6 times the size of the original terminal, opened in 1998.^[6]^[7]

Terminal

Kushiro Airport has a single passenger terminal on three levels with three boarding gates.^[8] It is designed primarily for domestic flights, but has limited customs and immigration facilities for international charter arrivals.

Ground transport

A bus service runs between the airport and the town of Kushiro, taking about 25 minutes and calling at the railway station, "MOO" shopping complex and a few other locations. The bus is approximately timed with flight arrivals / departures.^[9] There is no rail link connecting the airport.
