American Airlines Will Launch New Service Between York and Tokyo 

American Airlines announced today that it will soon launch service between New York (JFK) and Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport (HND). Last week, the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) formally approved American’s application to become the only U.S. carrier operating nonstop service between JFK and HND.

“American looks forward to launching flights between JFK and HND this summer,” said Brian Znotins, American’s Senior Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning. “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 will launch service between New York (JFK) and Tokyo’s convenient downtown Haneda Airport (HND) June 28. Tickets will be available for purchase Feb. 26 at aa.com or American’s mobile app.

Starting 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). United Airlines flies to Tokyo Haneda and Narita daily from nearby Newark.
