American Airlines Becomes the Only U.S. Carrier to Serve Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport From Dallas-Fort Worth
September 26 2019 - 9:00AM
Next year, getting to downtown Tokyo will be easier than ever when
American Airlines launches new service to Tokyo’s Haneda
International Airport (HND) from Dallas Fort Worth International
Airport (DFW) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Beginning March 29, American and its Pacific Joint Business partner
Japan Airlines will offer a total of five daily flights to HND from
four U.S. cities: Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth, New York and San
Francisco.
“Our flights to Haneda will provide access to downtown Tokyo
with nonstop service from our Asia gateways — LAX and DFW,” said
Vasu Raja, American’s Vice President of Network and Schedule
Planning. “Haneda is just 10 miles outside of Tokyo’s city center,
which is convenient for our customers traveling to business
meetings downtown or for those who value access to fast and
efficient public transportation.”
American will be the only U.S. carrier offering first class to
Japan. DFW to HND will be operated on a three-class Boeing 777-300,
with eight Flagship® First seats and 52 Flagship Business seats.
Customers traveling in first class from DFW will have access to
American’s signature Flagship Lounge, featuring Flagship First
Dining for an exclusive fine-dining experience. The new and
existing LAX service to HND will be operated on a 787-9, with 30
lie-flat Flagship Business class seats and 21 Premium Economy
seats.
American’s new flights add almost 4,000 seats every week between
the U.S. and Tokyo’s city center. Customers traveling from HND will
have access to more than 220 destinations in the Americas through
DFW and LAX.
“American has served Japan for more than 30 years and it is our
largest market in the Asia Pacific region,” said Jim Butler,
American’s Senior Vice President of International & Cargo. “Our
team in Tokyo looks forward to welcoming customers to their city
and providing them with easy connections to key Japanese cities
like Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka with Japan Airlines.”
The new flights will be available for purchase Sept. 30.
