Monbetsu Airport





or , is a third class airport in Monbetsu, Hokkaido, Japan.

MBE is the newest airport in Hokkaido: it opened on July 21, 1966. The airport was originally used for general aviation flights. Scheduled passenger service began after a runway extension in 1999 allowed the airport to accommodate jets. Air Nippon inaugurated daily service to New Chitose Airport outside Sapporo that year, and added flights to Tokyo International Airport in 2000. The Sapporo service was moved to Okadama Airport in 2001 and discontinued entirely in 2003.

Monbetsu now has only one daily flight to Tokyo, operated by All Nippon Airways. Hokkaido Air System plans to offer a scheduled flight to New Chitose Airport starting in February of 2006.

The airport is 15 minutes from the city center and accessible by bus from the Monbetsu Bus Terminal.
