The Tokyo-Haneda Airport ( Japanese 東京 国際 空港 Tōkyō Kokusai Kūkō , German " Tokyo International Airport "; English Tokyo International Airport ) is an international airport in Tokyo and is a 1st class airport according to Japanese law . It is usually referred to as Haneda Airport ( 羽 田 空港 , Haneda Kūkō ), which is also the name of the district of the airport in Ōta . In 2016, Haneda was used by more than 80 million passengers, making it the fifth largest airport in the world (after Atlanta , Beijing , Dubai and Los Angeles ) and the third largest in Asia (after Beijing and Dubai). The airport serves as a hub for Japan Airlines , All Nippon Airways , Skymark , Air Do and Solaseed Air .
International air traffic to Tokyo has been handled mainly via Narita International Airport in Narita since 1978 , until 2010 when the international terminal (now Terminal 3) and a fourth runway opened in Haneda, making international night flights possible. International flights have also been operated during the day since March 2014.
history
The airport was opened on August 25, 1931 as Haneda Airfield (Japanese 羽 田 飛行 場 Haneda Hikōjō ). In the 1930s, flights to destinations within Japan and international flights to Korea and Manchuria were offered. Manchuria Aviation Company also flew from Haneda to Changchun . In the early years, passenger and cargo air traffic expanded rapidly and in 1939 the runway was extended to a length of 800 meters and a second runway, also 800 meters long, was opened. The airport building was expanded to an area of 72.8 hectares. During the Second World War , the airport was used almost exclusively for military purposes. The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force, for example, used Haneda for flight exercises.
In the late 1930s, the government planned a new airport on an artificial island in Tokyo's Kōtō district . It should be five times the size of Haneda and significantly larger than Berlin-Tempelhof Airport , which was then the largest in the world. Construction began in 1939 and should be completed in 1941, but construction was delayed due to a lack of resources during World War II. After the surrender of Japan , the Allies finally preferred to expand Haneda and the project was abandoned.
General Douglas MacArthur decided in September 1945 that Haneda would be handed over to the occupying power. The airport was renamed Haneda Army Air Base and the runways were extended, requiring 3,000 residents to leave their homes. Construction began in October 1945 and was finished in June 1946.
The first international passenger flights after the war were operated by Northwest Orient Airlines to China , South Korea , the Philippines and the USA in 1947 . Pan American World Airways also offered flights to Europe.
In 1952 the US military gave part of the Haneda Air Base back to Japan. This part of the former air base was renamed Tokyo International Airport .
Japan Airlines began operating domestic Japanese flights from Haneda Airport in 1951. In 1955 a new passenger terminal was opened. European airlines also began flying to Haneda in the 1950s: Air France in 1952 , British Overseas Airways Corporation in 1953, and SAS Scandinavian Airlines in 1957 . In 1967 Aeroflot also started flights from Moscow to Haneda in cooperation with Japan Airlines . In 1957, Japan Airlines operated 86 domestic and 8 international flights a week from Handa. In 1966 the airport had 3 runways, which were 3150 m × 61 m, 3002 m × 55 m and 1570 m × 46 m respectively. In time for the Summer Olympics in Tokyo in 1964, the airport was connected to the city center with the Tōkyō Monorail . In 1966 the government decided to build a new airport for international flights, Tokyo Narita Airport . It opened in 1978 and almost all international flights were relocated there, making Haneda a regional airport .
In 1984 the expansion of Haneda began; In 1988 the new runway A (3000 meters) opened, in 1993 the new Terminal West ( Terminal 1 ) opened with a forecast of 40 million passengers per year and in 1997 the new runway C (3000 meters) ) put into operation. A year later, in 1998, a second rail connection with the Keihin Kyūkō (Keikyū), which also offers connections to Yokohama , was created. In 2000 the new runway B (2500 meters) was put into operation.
In 2002, China Airlines also moved its international flights to Narita, which meant that Haneda was henceforth only used for domestic Japanese traffic. But in 2003 international traffic with charter flights to Gimpo / Seoul ( South Korea ) was resumed.
The new Terminal East ( Terminal 2 ) went into operation on December 1, 2004, and in 2010 the new runway D and the new international terminal ( Terminal 3 since March 2020 ). As a result, many airlines moved their flights from Narita to Haneda.
Airport facilities
The airport has three terminals. The main terminal buildings 1 and 2 are connected underground, and a shuttle bus runs between the three terminals every 5 minutes. Terminal 3 is open 24 hours a day, while Terminal 1 and 2 are closed between 23:00 and 5:00.
All three terminal buildings are operated by private companies. Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd. (Japanese. 日本 空港 ビ ル デ ィ ン グ 株式会社 Nippon Kūkō Birudingu kabushiki-gaisha ) operates Terminals 1 and 2 and Tokyo International Air Terminal Corporation (Japanese 東京 国際 空港 タ ー ミ ナ ル 株式会社 Tōkyō Kokusai Kūkō Tāminaru Die. Kabushiki-gaisha operates the terminal) Runways and taxiways belong to the Ministry of Land and Transport . As of March 2013, Terminal 1 and 2 together have 47 passenger boarding bridges.
