New Chitose Airport (CTS) is the primary commercial airport serving the Sapporo metropolitan area and the island of Hokkaido, Japan. It is one of the busiest airports in Japan by passenger volume, handling tens of millions of passengers annually and serving as a key hub for domestic travel between Hokkaido and the Japanese mainland. The airport is located in Chitose City, approximately 40 kilometers southeast of central Sapporo.

The airport features extensive shopping and dining facilities, including a ramen theme area and a Royce' chocolate factory, making it a destination in itself.

The airport has two domestic terminal buildings (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2) connected by a walkway, plus a separate international terminal.
