The daily service to Tokyo Haneda International Airport joins the daily flights already in operation to Tokyo Narita International Airport, giving Qatar Airways passengers two dedicated flights into Japan’s largest city on a daily basis. Qatar Airways has been operating to the Land of the Rising Sun with routes to Osaka and Tokyo Narita since 2005 and 2010 respectively.
The new route, which is operated by an Boeing 787 Dreamliner, with 22 seats in Business Class and 232 in Economy, will bring the number of Qatar Airways’ flights to Japan up from 14 to 21 each week. With the new route, Qatar Airways will be serving travellers from the central area of Tokyo in addition to Tokyo Narita which currently services the population in the greater city area.
The Tokyo Haneda operation provides a non-stop link to Doha with excellent onward connections to more than 100 destinations, including popular spots in the Middle East, Europe and the Americas.
