Background ✨
Delta Air Lines planned to eliminate required bag re-checks for passengers connecting from Tokyo Haneda to domestic US services1. The airline had recently announced a new daily Honolulu-Tokyo Haneda service, as travel demand in Japan began to recover2. Delta decided not to launch a planned Portland-Tokyo Haneda service, returning the allocated slot pair to the US Department of Transportation3.
