American Airlines has commenced new flights between New York and Tokyo due to excessive demand.

The carrier will persist with its existing route connecting New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and Tokyo's Narita airport but the new service will land at Haneda airport, which is nearer to the centre of Tokyo.


The service will utilize a Boeing 777 and will provide 247 seats in total consisting of 16 first class, 37 business class as well as 194 in economy class.

Haneda is one of the busiest in the region and the fourth busiest in the world as around 70 million passengers pass through it every year. Also since it is also the chief air hub for domestic flights,American Airlines believe the new service will assist those travelers planning to take constant connections to other cities in Japan.
