The alternatives are Aberdeen International Airport (ABZ, 94 km), Dundee Airport (DND, 4 km).

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).

One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,454 km (5,253 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
