Location

Monbetsu, Japan

Monbetsu Airport (IATA: MBE, ICAO: RJEB) is a small regional airport located in Monbetsu City, in the Okhotsk subprefecture of Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost main island. It provides essential air connectivity for a region known for drift ice tourism, fishing industries, and dairy farming. The airport operates a limited number of daily flights, primarily connecting Monbetsu with New Chitose Airport (Sapporo) and Tokyo's Haneda Airport. Its services are vital for residents and visitors given the remote nature of the surrounding region and harsh winter conditions that can limit surface travel. Passenger volumes are modest compared to major Japanese airports, reflecting the rural and sparsely populated nature of the Okhotsk coast. The airport plays an important role in regional economic connectivity and tourism promotion, particularly during the winter drift ice season.
