Airports at each end

Århus is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Aarhus Airport (AAR), 30 km (19 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,111 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Odense Hans Christian Andersen Airport (ODE, 76 km), Billund Airport (BLL, 80 km), Midtjyllands Airport / Air Base Karup (KRP, 70 km).
Arriving in Sapporo
Sapporo is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is New Chitose Airport (CTS), 43 km (27 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Sapporo Okadama Airport (OKD, 6 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |

| Sapporo Okadama Airport (regional) | OKD | 6 km (4 mi) | 4,920 ft | 25 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,070 km (5,014 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
