CHICAGO
(Reuters) – United Continental Holdings is applying for six of 12 new
slots open to U.S. carriers at Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport in a
push to increase daily nonstop flights to the Japanese capital ahead of
the 2020 Olympic Games and beyond.
Haneda
is located closer to downtown Tokyo than the capital’s other
international airport Narita, and flies to more destinations throughout
Japan, making it attractive for both business travelers and tourists.
Thursday
is the deadline for applications to the U.S. Department of
Transportation for the 12 extra Haneda slots that Japan has agreed to
allot to U.S. airlines.
The
extra slots for U.S. airlines were unlocked after Japan reached an
agreement with the U.S. Air Force to open up new flight paths around a
nearby U.S. air base, a move needed to boost Haneda movements in the
run-up to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
Completion
of an aviation agreement between the U.S. and Japanese governments is
expected later this year, United said. Flights are expected to begin
service by the summer of 2020, once the U.S. Department of
Transportation awards the slots.
U.S. carriers American Airlines Group, Delta Air Lines and Hawaiian Airlines are also expected to bid.
United
wants to fly to Haneda from its hubs at Newark Liberty, Chicago O’Hare,
Washington Dulles, Los Angeles International, Houston George Bush and
Guam. The flights from Newark, Los Angeles and Guam would be new routes
operated by Boeing 777 and 787 aircraft, while the flights from the
other three hubs would be shifted from Narita.
Under
the proposal, United said it would connect to 37 destinations in Japan
from Haneda with its joint venture partner All Nippon Airways (ANA).
Industry
analysts say a recent sale of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to ANA may have
weighed in the decision to grant more flying rights for U.S. airlines
into Haneda, which airlines compete for aggressively due to the
airport’s proximity to the Japanese capital, a major center for global
commerce.
