DoT recommends a Delta flight between MSP and Haneda
The US DoT Wednesday recommended giving Delta Air Lines a route between Minneapolis-St. Paul International and Tokyo's close-in Haneda Airport just months after Minnesota politicians and business leaders created a dust-up over the issue. Delta will have the option of adding service between MSP and Haneda, if the recommendation is adopted, which is expected to happen in the fall. Delta currently flies from MSP to Tokyo Narita International. In February, the US and Japanese govts agreed to change aviation rules between the two nations by expanding service to Haneda, where US airlines previously could only arrive at awkward, overnight times. The agreement allowed for 5 daytime slots for US airlines. Four of those were set aside for existing night-time routes that could be transferred to daylight flying. <br/>
