Air India Announces New Tokyo Haneda Service

Air India is set to enhance its operations by shifting its flight services from Narita to Tokyo Haneda, starting March 31, 2025. This move will significantly reduce travel time to the city center.

In addition to the relocation of flights, Air India will expand its codeshare agreement with All Nippon Airways (ANA) to provide even better connectivity for passengers wishing to travel to other key Japanese cities.

Enhanced Travel Experience

By moving to Haneda, located just 18 km from downtown Tokyo, Air India is committed to making travel more straightforward and enjoyable for its customers. Nipun Aggarwal commented, “Moving our flights to Haneda Airport is a significant advantage for our guests – it brings them much closer to the centre of Tokyo.”

Schedule Overview

• Flight AI358 departs from Delhi at 20:20, arriving in Tokyo at 07:55 (next day). This flight operates on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
• Flight AI357 leaves Tokyo at 11:50, reaching Delhi at 17:25, with operations scheduled for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Growing Tourism Ties

According to recent statistics, Indian tourist arrivals in Japan increased significantly, with 233,000 Indians visiting during the previous year, reflecting a 40% increase.

This strategic expansion not only bolsters travel options for passengers but is also anticipated to enhance tourism and trade relations between India and Japan.
