Haneda Airport
About HND
Overview
Haneda Airport, officially Tokyo International Airport, sits on reclaimed land along Tokyo Bay, roughly 15 kilometers south of central Tokyo. It is one of the two primary international gateways serving the Greater Tokyo area, alongside Narita. Originally opened in 1931 as Haneda Airfield, it served as Tokyo's main airport for decades and has remained central to Japanese aviation following extensive offshore expansion.
Terminals & runways
The airport operates three passenger terminals: Terminals 1 and 2 primarily handle domestic services, while Terminal 3 serves international flights. Four runways arranged in a cross-like configuration over reclaimed land allow simultaneous operations around the clock, as Haneda functions 24 hours a day. Recent years have brought ongoing terminal renovations and revised flight paths over central Tokyo to accommodate growing international demand.
Airlines
Haneda is the principal hub for Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways, both of which base extensive domestic and long-haul international networks here. Skymark Airlines and other Japanese low-cost carriers maintain significant operations as well. Major international carriers from across Asia, North America, Europe, and Oceania operate scheduled services, making Haneda one of the busiest airports in the world.
