Haneda Airport expansion date

JAPAN’S Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has announced that international scheduled flights can begin operating from Haneda Airport, a short metro ride from downtown Tokyo, from 31 October 2010, virtually coinciding with the opening of a fourth runway and new international passenger terminal.  International flights ceased with the opening of Narita in 1978, a very limited reintroduction taking place in recent years.  Japan Airlines plans to start flying from Haneda to San Francisco, Honolulu, Paris, Bangkok and Taipei at that time. On the same day the current scheduled-charter flights to Beijing, Hong Kong, Seoul and Shanghai will be upgraded to full scheduled services.  It will codeshare Haneda – JFK with American Airlines. See AERBT 17 May 2010 Tokyo – US slots given.
