American Airlines set to start nonstop Tokyo flight from JFK

Sunday, 28 Jan, 2024 0

American Airlines has gained tentative approval from the US Department of Transportation to fly direct New York to Tokyo flights.

The JFK flights will complement the existing service operated by JV partner Japan Airlines.

“American looks forward to beginning nonstop service to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport from JFK,” said American’s CEO Robert Isom. “We are grateful to the DOT and thankful to our partner Japan Airlines for supporting our application.”

The airline plans to begin the nonstop Tokyo flights from JFK in the coming months.

The new JFK–HND service will be American’s fourth daily nonstop flight to Haneda, joining existing daily service from Dallas-Fort Worth and two daily flights from Los Angeles.

The flight application was also supported by New York area lawmakers including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

American’s new flights will join the existing services between JFK and HND operated by Japan Airlines.
