Alongside this, Air India is expanding its partnership with All Nippon Airways (ANA), a fellow Star Alliance member, to provide passengers with convenient connections from Tokyo Haneda to six major cities in Japan.
Why the Move to Haneda?
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
Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer of Air India, shared, “By providing easy access for our guests to ANA’s domestic Japan network, combined with ANA’s reach into Air India’s extensive Indian network, we’re creating a stronger bridge between our two nations—making travel simpler and truly rewarding for our common guests."
Expanded Partnership with All Nippon Airways (ANA)
Air India has also expanded its codeshare agreement with Japan’s leading airline, ANA. From 1 April 2025, Air India passengers will be able to connect seamlessly from Haneda to six major Japanese cities:
- Fukuoka
- Hiroshima
- Nagoya
- Okinawa
- Osaka
- Sapporo
In return, ANA will place its ‘NH’ code on Air India’s flights between Delhi and major Indian cities, including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Pune.
