Fuji Dream Airlines will expand its network by launching Sapporo New Chitose – Niigata and Fukuoka routes from March 30, 2025, the beginning of the 2025 summer schedule.
The Niigata route will operate twice a day as follows:
- JH613 / Sapporo New Chitose – Niigata / 10:40AM – 11:55AM
- JH615 / Sapporo New Chitose – Niigata / 2:20PM – 3:35PM
- JH614 / Niigata – Sapporo New Chitose / 11:35AM – 12:45PM
- JH66 / Niigata – Sapporo New Chitose / 4:15PM – 5:25PM
Fuji Dream will be the fourth airline connecting Hokkaido’s largest city with Niigata. While ANA and JAL offer two daily flights each between Niigata and New Chitose, the start-up airline Toki Air flies twice a day between Niigata and Okadama Airport, which is closer to Sapporo city center.
The Fukuoka route will operate daily as follows:
- JH511 / Fukuoka – Sapporo New Chitose / 7:45AM – 10:05AM
- JH518 / Sapporo New Cthiose – Fukuoka / 6:05PM – 9:00PM
Currently, ANA, JAL, Air Do, Jetstar Japan, Peach, and Skymark Airlines offer over 10 daily flights combined between the two cities.
Both routes will be operated using Embraer E175 aircraft equipped with 84 seats, all in economy class, and both will be operated as codeshare flights with JAL.
Combined with its existing Shizuoka, Matsumoto, and Yamagata routes, the two new routes will bring the total number of destinations served by Fuji Dream from Sapporo New Chitose to five. Existing destinations out of Niigata include Nagoya Komaki and Fukuoka. Lastly, Fuji Dream’s current Fukuoka network includes Nagoya Komaki, Shizuoka, and Matsumoto.
