Traveling to Japan will get easier this summer with new service from American Airlines between New York (JFK) and Tokyo Haneda International Airport (HND). Last week, the United States Department of Transportation formally approved American’s application to become the only U.S. carrier operating nonstop service between JFK and HND.
Brian Znotins, American’s Senior Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning, commented: “American looks forward to launching flights between JFK and HND this summer. This new service will complement flights offered by our joint business partner, Japan Airlines, giving more ways for our customers travel between the U.S. and Japan.”
American and Japan Airlines offer comprehensive network between the U.S. and Japan
Launching June 28, American’s service will complement existing flights with joint business partner Japan Airlines. This summer, customers traveling between JFK and HND will have up to three daily flights to choose from operating at convenient times throughout the day.
American’s new daily flight will offer roundtrip connections to more than 30 cities across Japan and East Asia operated by Japan Airlines, including major cities such as Osaka, Sapporo and Fukuoka.
The new JFK–HND service will be American’s fourth daily nonstop flight to HND, joining existing daily service from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and two daily flights from Los Angeles (LAX).
The joint business partnership between American and Japan Airlines will offer customers up to 17 daily flights between the continental United States and Japan next summer, including 10 daily flights to HND. Together, the two airlines will offer customers the following convenient schedule to Japan next summer.
