FORT WORTH- This summer, traveling to Japan will become more convenient with the introduction of a new service from American Airlines (AA) connecting New York (JFK) and Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport (HND).
The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) recently granted formal approval to American Airlines’ application, designating it as the exclusive U.S. carrier authorized to operate nonstop flights between JFK and HND.

Brian Znotins, American’s Senior Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning, expressed anticipation for the launch of flights between JFK and HND.
He stated, “American looks forward to introducing flights between JFK and HND this summer. This new service will complement flights offered by our joint business partner, Japan Airlines, providing additional travel options for our customers between the U.S. and Japan.”
Commencing on June 28, American’s upcoming service will complement the existing flights in collaboration with its joint business partner, Japan Airlines.
During this summer, travelers journeying between JFK and HND will have the flexibility of choosing from up to three daily flights strategically scheduled at convenient times throughout the day.
American’s newly introduced daily flight not only facilitates roundtrip connections but extends access to over 30 cities across Japan and East Asia, all operated by Japan Airlines. This includes key urban centers such as Osaka, Sapporo, and Fukuoka.
The addition of the JFK–HND route marks American’s fourth daily nonstop flight to HND, augmenting the current daily service from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and the two daily flights from Los Angeles (LAX).
