Mumbai: The flag carrier of India, Air India has decided to shift its non-stop flights between Delhi and Tokyo. The air carrier will now operate four weekly flights to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport (HND), replacing the current services to Narita International Airport (NRT). The change will start from 31st March 2025.
Haneda Airport is just 18 km from downtown Tokyo, compared to Narita’s 70 km distance. This shift will cut travel time to Tokyo Station from nearly an hour to just 30 minutes
