Passenger traffic at Tokyo International Airport in Japan 2013-2022
In 2022, approximately 50.43 million passengers enplaned, deplaned, or transited at Tokyo International Airport, commonly known as Haneda Airport. Passenger traffic reached a record low in 2021, amounting to about 26.6 million passengers. COVID-19 has had persisting impact on Japan's air transportation and while it recovered slightly in 2022, passenger figures were still far below pre-COVID-19 pandemic values.
Traveling within Japan
Over the past decades, Japan established a well-connected and highly efficient public transportation system, boosting mobility for domestic and international travelers throughout the country’s main islands. Railway transit is the most frequently used mode of public transportation in Japan, connecting metropolitan areas and making city centers easily accessible for commuters from suburban and rural regions.
Access to the island
Since Japan is an archipelago, road and railway transportation are limited to domestic travels. The most common way of entry for the millions of international visitors is via aviation. With Narita International Airport serving as an international hub, Haneda functioned primarily as an airport for domestic flights until its extension to three terminals in 2014. Nowadays, Tokyo International Airport is the prime base for domestic flights conducted by Japan’s two largest airlines, All Nippon Airwaves (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL,) and handles numerous international nonstop flights to and from Japan.
