Haneda Airport (HND), formally known as Tokyo International Airport, was opened in 1931. With the completion of the new Narita Airport (NRT) in 1978, Narita Airport took over most of Tokyo's international air traffic, and Haneda Airport was designated to handle Tokyo's domestic air traffic. However, thanks to the completion of a new runway and international terminal building, Haneda resumed handling an increased number of international flights in October 2010.
Haneda Airport is located less than 30 minutes south of central Tokyo. It consists of three terminal buildings: terminal 1 which is mainly used by JAL and its subsidiary airlines, terminal 2 which is mainly used by ANA and its subsidiary airlines, and the international terminal which handles all international flights. With over 60 million passengers per year, Haneda Airport is by far Japan's busiest airport and ranks among the world's five busiest airports.
