Tokyo Haneda (HND)
Tokyo Haneda (HND) at a glance
Tokyo Haneda, officially Tokyo International Airport, climbed to third-busiest airport in the world in 2025 with 91.7 million passengers, a milestone of Asia-Pacific's travel resurgence and Japan's record inbound tourism boom. Just 14 km from central Tokyo on the shore of Tokyo Bay, it pairs mega-hub scale with a convenience no rival of its size can match.
Haneda is the shared fortress of Japan's two great airlines, ANA and Japan Airlines, whose domestic shuttle networks and reopened long-haul routes make its four runways some of the most intensively scheduled in the world; Narita, an hour further out, handles the overflow. With slots effectively full, Haneda's growth is a game of aircraft size and precious new allocations.
