Haneda Airport's Terminal 2 reopened to international flights on July 19, 2023, after being closed for over three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The reopening of Terminal 2 is a sign of the recovery of international travel in Japan. Terminal 2 is one of Haneda Airport's two main terminals. It is located in the south of the airport and is used for both domestic and international flights. However, since the pandemic, only Terminal 3 has been used for international flights.
The reopening of Terminal 2 will allow Haneda Airport to handle more international flights. This is good news for both travelers and airlines. Travelers will have more options for flights, and airlines will be able to increase their capacity. The first international flight to depart from Terminal 2 was an All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight to London. The flight was operated by an ANA Boeing 777-300ER.
Other airlines that are currently scheduled to operate flights from Terminal 2 include British Airways, Cathay Pacific, China Eastern Airlines, EVA Air, and Korean Air.
Overall, the reopening of Terminal 2 is a positive development for the travel industry in Japan. It is a sign that international travel is recovering, and it will help to boost the economy. Inbound visitors to Japan rose to 2.07 million in June, the Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO) said on Wednesday. However, there are some challenges that may need to be addressed in order to ensure a smooth reopening.
