JAPAN'S Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has announced the first increase in daily landing slots at Tokyo International Airport, Haneda, since 2000, up by 14 to 391, from July. A Nihon Keizai Shimbun report says air traffic control improvements have broadened capacity, with slots being preferentially distributed amongst new market entrants, such as Hokkaido International Airlines (Air Do) and Sky-Net Asia Airways, the remainder being provisionally earmarked for Japan Airlines System Corp and All Nippon Airways.
