Japan, US agree daytime slots at Haneda
Japan has agreed to add new landing and take-off slots at Tokyo's crowded Haneda airport on routes to the US, allowing daytime flights by both nations' carriers from Haneda to the US for the first time. Aviation officials from Washington and Tokyo agreed in talks in Japan to give Japanese and US carriers 5 new slots each between 06:00 and 23:00, and cut the number of slots between 22:00 and 07:00 from 4 to 1, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said. The allocation of the new landing rights had been delayed because Delta Air Lines was worried that new slots at Haneda would bring greater benefits to United Airlines and American Airlines because they are in alliances that include Japanese carriers. Haneda is much closer to central Tokyo than the city's main international hub at Narita. <br/>
