Hot off the heels of the news British Airways is heading to Toyko Haneda, is one that is slightly less impressive, but perhaps a lot more locally important.
Air Asia X is joining in the fray connecting Kuala Lumpur to Toyko Haneda with a low cost entry.
They will be offering a 3 times a week service, using A330 aircraft, fitted with “Premium FlatBed seats” which have a 60-inch pitch.
Which is nice.
As more carriers are approved for travel into HND, it is going turn into a very interesting battle who will “dominate” the airport, and who can make use of the existing domestic connections.
This is shaping up to be *very* interesting.
