Qatar Airways to Launch Dreamliner Flights to Haneda, Japan

[HD videos below] Qatar Airways has confirmed that Haneda will be its third route to Japan following Osaka, which began in March 2005, and Tokyo Narita which commenced in April 2010.

Both Osaka and Tokyo are currently non-stop daily operations.

Qatar Airways will begin operations to and from Haneda Airport (HND) on 18 June 2014.

The airline will operate a Boeing 787 Dreamliner [see videos below] to Haneda Airport in a two-class configuration, with 22 Business Class and 232 Economy Class seats.

“The airline has pursued aggressive growth in the Asian market to cater to the demand of our business and leisure passengers,” said Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Akbar Al Baker. “Haneda is a key gateway into the city of Tokyo that will offer passengers a second option to arrive into making it more convenient ... Just last year we launched four new destinations in Asia; Phnom Penh in Cambodia, Clark International Airport in the Philippines, as well as Chengdu and Hangzhou in China.”

Haneda International Airport is one of the two major airports that serve the Greater Tokyo area. In 2012, Haneda was the second busiest airport in Asia with more than 66 million passengers.

Qatar Airways currently operates to 24 destinations in Asia and Asian destinations currently make up approximately 18% of the airline’s overall route map.
