Tokyo Haneda Airport has been opened up with a\u00a0new U.S. and Japan agreement on slots at the\u00a0close in airport. The agreement is for\u00a012 slots a day connecting the downtown Tokyo\u00a0Airport with the United States to begin in October of 2016. Five\u00a0slot pairs will be designated for\u00a0day\u00a0operations, along with\u00a0one pair at night. The agreement follows the distribution of 31 international slot pairs two years ago, in which\u00a0the U.S. failed\u00a0to acquire any of the slots. This news comes just one week after American Airlines launched an overnight flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo Haneda Airport. The airline is\u00a0now\u00a0planning to change the\u00a0departure and arrival times this fall to take advantage of new daytime slots being opened up to the U.S. air carriers.<\/p>\n

Tokyo Haneda Airport vs. Narita<\/h2>\n

Haneda Airport is much more desirable\u00a0for U.S. air carriers, as it puts their higher fare business travelers much closer to downtown Tokyo than at Narita International Airport. Tokyo’s international flights were moved to the new\u00a0Narita Airport in 1978 to help reduce noise and congestion at Haneda.\u00a0Narita’s\u00a0opening was delayed by many years due to civil unrest and protests over the site picked for its\u00a0construction.\u00a0The downtown Haneda Airport\u00a0expanded\u00a0in 2010, adding\u00a0a new international terminal and a fourth runway.<\/p>\n
