All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL) will adjust flight schedules on the Tokyo/Haneda–Okayama route from October 25.
By ensuring time gaps between a total of eight flights operated by the two airlines that had similar departure times, the airlines aim to increase travel options and improve convenience.
By adjusting flights that, under the previous year’s winter schedule, departed 10 minutes apart from Tokyo/Haneda and 5 minutes apart from Okayama, the airlines will ensure gaps of up to 1 hour and 5 minutes. The first flight from Tokyo/Haneda will depart 20 minutes earlier, while the final flight from Okayama will depart 15 minutes later.
The Expert Panel on the Future of Domestic Aviation had recommended that, while maintaining competition among airlines as a principle, measures should be taken to sustain Japan’s domestic air network and ensure passenger convenience. With the aim of building a sustainable domestic route network, the airlines said they will continue discussions with relevant parties while considering a range of options, including flight frequency adjustments and route coordination such as codesharing with other airlines.
