Business aviation access to Tokyo is about to get easier.

Business aviation access to Tokyo is about to get easier. Beginning October 31, Tokyo's Haneda International Airport (RJTT), previously opened to business aircraft arrivals from overseas only between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., will allow eight slots for domestic and international flights (up to four arrivals) during the previously prohibited hours. Slots for nighttime arrivals remain unlimited.

"It's important to let [business aviation users] know that Haneda is open for business," said Kazuyuki Tamura, auditor and head of the Japan Business Aviation Association (JBAA), which has been working to loosen restrictions on international arrivals at Haneda since 1996.
