Business Aviation in Japan Sees Steady Increase
The country is taking steps to improve accessability at many gateways.

International business aviation movements in Japan have averaged a steady 12.6 percent increase between 2012 and 2016, and the trend remains on an upward trajectory in 2017, according to statistics from the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (Booth C10921). The major Tokyo airports of Haneda and Narita accounted for nearly 63 percent of the country’s private aviation operations in 2016, with more than 3,000 between them, although Haneda saw more than twice as many as Narita. Many believe that Haneda provides easier access to downtown Tokyo, due to the congested highway leading to and from Narita, which feeds through the city.
