U.S.-Japan Aviation Talks To Bring Daytime Trans-Pacific Flights to Haneda

18-Feb-2016 Delegations representing the governments of the United States and Japan announced in Tokyo today that they have successfully negotiated an amendment to their Open Skies agreement. The proposed amendment provides for the first time since 1978 daytime services by U.S. and Japanese air carriers between the United States and Tokyo International Airport (Haneda), the busiest in Japan and the closest to downtown Tokyo. These flights are expected to begin as early as fall 2016.
