U.S. to Haneda Proposed Allocations for 2020

Last Thursday, the U.S. Department of Transportation proposed allocations of 12 additional daytime slot pairs for operations at Tokyo Haneda which are expected to become available at the start of summer 2020. These slot pairs are in addition to five daytime and one nighttime/early morning slot pairs. The existing daytime slot pairs are allocated as follows:

• American: Los Angeles
• Delta: Los Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul
• Hawaiian: Honolulu
• United: San Francisco

The nighttime slot pair is allocated to Hawaiian for service from Honolulu 4x weekly and Kona 3x weekly.

Four U.S. airlines requested a total of 19 allocations for the 12 planned slot pairs. The requests, in preference order for each airline, were as follows:

• American: Dallas/Ft. Worth, Los Angeles, 2nd Dallas/Ft. Worth, Las Vegas,
• Delta: Seattle, Detroit, Atlanta, Portland, Honolulu, 2nd Honolulu
• Hawaiian: 3rd Honolulu, 4th Honolulu, 5th Honolulu
• United: Newark, Chicago O'Hare, Washington Dulles, Los Angeles, Houston Intercontinenal, Guam

Today's Featured Map shows the 12 proposed new allocation, with American's routes in red, Delta's in navy blue, Hawaiian's in violet, and United's in teal ("Pacific Blue"). (An orthographic projection centered on Anchorage is used.)
