Tokyo International Airport (Haneda)

Tokyo International Airport, 14 kms south of Tokyo Central Station, is one of the two primary
airports serving the Greater Tokyo Area. It is commonly known as Haneda Airport. Although Haneda
was originally the primary airport for the Tokyo region, it now shares that role with Narita for a flight
abroad. Haneda mainly handles most domestic flights to and from Tokyo while Narita handles mostly
all international flights. The Japanese government plans to expand Haneda's role with more regional
flights and off-peak charter and oversea services. By passenger throughput, it is the busiest
airport in Asia and the fourth in the world.


Tokyo International Airport (Haneda)

New international terminal

The current international terminal opened in October, 2010. Both Tokyo Monorail and Keikyu
Airport Line was routed to stop at the new terminal.

The fourth runway, which is called D Runway, was constructed to the south of the existing
airfield, and was completed in 2010. This runway was designed to increase Haneda's operational
capacity from 285,000 movements to 407,000 movements per annum, permitting increased
frequencies on existing routes, as well as routes to new destinations. In particular, Haneda
would offer additional slots to handle 60,000 overseas flights a year, that is 30,000 during
the day and 30,000 during late-night and early-morning hours.

Haneda International Airport has 69 smoking booths or rooms: 18 at the Terminal 1, 35 at the Terminal 2,
and 16 at the International Terminal.
This would be the largest number among airports in the world.
So many Japanese smoker tourists put the light on the cigarette in a smoking booth at Haneda
before the departure of aircraft. This fact also leads to the third-hand smoke creating a problem
with the aircraft cabin passenger.
