Overview
Japan Air Self-Defense Force Komatsu Base shares its runways with civil aviation. Its taxiways are on both sides of the runway. The inland-side taxiway is used by the JASDF and the sea-side one is used by the civil terminal. The airport is served by Boeing 747-sized airliners and is the largest airport in the Hokuriku region. It is equipped with an ILS, allowing fewer cancellation of services during the snowy winter months.
Its runway surface has been completed strengthening upgrades to enable non-stop freighter flights to and from Europe and North America in late 2006.
