Hokkaido International Airlines, operating as AIR DO, is a Japanese regional carrier headquartered in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Founded in 1996, the airline was established with the mission of providing affordable air travel between Hokkaido and the Japanese mainland, particularly Tokyo. The airline faced severe financial difficulties in its early years and filed for civil rehabilitation in 2002, later merging operationally with ANA under a codeshare arrangement. Despite these challenges, AIR DO survived and continued to serve as an important regional carrier for Hokkaido residents. AIR DO primarily operates routes between New Chitose Airport in Sapporo and major Japanese cities including Tokyo (Haneda), Nagoya, and Osaka. The airline is a member of the Vanilla Air and ANA group alliance network and benefits from its close partnership with ANA.
