Global Network, Domestic Network

Tokyo is Japan's largest international hub for both passengers and freight, with its direct flights to the world's leading airports and its position on container vessel routes to the world's leading ports. Highways, railways (including the Shinkansen lines), and national flights allow for easy access to major cities in Japan.

Re-expansion and internationalization of Haneda Airport

Haneda Airport is located in Tokyo and affords excellent access to the downtown area. It is a domestic air hub with a network of flights to around 50 airports in Japan. The offshore construction of Haneda Airport's fourth runway is now in progress and will increase the airport's capacity by approximately 1.4-fold upon completion. International flights are scheduled to be in operation by October 2010.
