In a significant boost to international travel, American Airlines is set to launch a new nonstop service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport (HND). The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has formally approved the airline’s application, making it the only U.S. carrier to operate a nonstop service between JFK and HND. Brian Znotins, American’s Senior Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning, expressed his enthusiasm about the upcoming service, stating, “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 to travel between the U.S. and Japan.” Set to launch on June 28, the new service will offer up to three daily flights, providing customers with a range of convenient times throughout the day. Furthermore, the 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 JFK-HND service will be America’s fourth daily nonstop flight to HND, joining the existing daily service from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and two daily flights from Los Angeles (LAX). In a joint business partnership, American and Japan Airlines will offer customers up to 17 flights between the continental United States and Japan next summer, including ten daily flights to HND. This partnership is set to redefine convenience and comfort for travellers, offering them a seamless travel experience to Japan next summer. This move marks a significant milestone in enhancing connectivity and fostering stronger ties between the U.S. and Japan, promising an exciting summer for travellers.
