OKA Okinawa

How deep the OKA board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from OKA. This reads the same 35 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 19of the 35 destinations are flown by one airline
• 4destinations run less than once a day
• 13destinations have four or more departures a day
• 34.3%of the destinations name ANA, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at OKA

28 airlines appear on the OKA board and they do not hold it evenly. ANA is on 12 of the 35 destinations, 34.3 per cent of them, and on 6 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 128.8 of the 212 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Japan Transocean Air on 8 destinations. 14 of the 28 airlines at OKA appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at OKA: one airline on 34.3 per cent of the destinations and the other 65.7 per cent spread across 27 airlines. A cancellation inside the ANA network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 23 destinations ANA does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the OKA board is daily

Of the 35 destinations, 31 are flown at least once a day and 4 are not, though none of them drops to once a week or less. The median destination on the OKA board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.43 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: OKA to Tainan City (TNN) is 3 a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 116.6 of the 212 departures a day, 55 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves OKA is aimed at those five places, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests, and a hand carry that is not going to one of them is planned around a single departure time.

The three destinations out of OKA where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.

The way back from OKA

The desk holds the return direction for 15 of the 35 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 15 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through OKA is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

The clock at OKA

OKA keeps Asia/Tokyo time, five hours ahead of Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 14:00 at OKA, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for four hours. A customs question raised in the last five hours of the Dubai afternoon reaches nobody at OKA until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at OKA

1 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Tokyo (NRT) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from OKA that lands inside it leaves around 20:26, on a modelled block of 2h 34m. Those one departure times out of OKA are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where OKA turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Japan country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 9 airport pair pages that start or end at OKA, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Okinawa to Tokyo (HND), Okinawa to Fukuoka (FUK) and Okinawa to Taipei (TPE).

One courier posting names OKA as the airport a courier here flies from: Naha.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with OKA already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 35 destinations above.
