American Airlines has received approval from the United States Department of Transportation to operate nonstop service between New York’s JFK Airport and Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport (HND).
The new daily flight, set to launch on June 28, will make American Airlines the only U.S. carrier offering nonstop service on this route. The service will complement existing flights with American’s joint business partner, Japan Airlines, providing up to three daily flights between JFK and HND.
Passengers will have roundtrip connections to more than 30 cities across Japan and East Asia. Tickets will be available for purchase starting February 26.
