Airasia D7 timetable to Japan Haneda

On 9 December 2010, Air Asia X started flying from Kuala Lumpur to Tokyo’s central Haneda Airport with fares as low as £55 one way. With Air Asia already offering flights from London Stansted to Kuala Lumpur, this new route makes it easy to combine Japan with South-east Asia using low-cost flights.

it was announced that Haneda airport, just 14 kilometers south of Tokyo, would be open for international carriers from October 2010, putting it in direct competition with the main hub, Narita, a grueling 57.5 kilometers east. ANA has been operating some international routes through Haneda.

That will connect Tokyo to 132 other Air Asia routes serving not only within the region, but to Australia and the United Kingdom.

The only budget airline serving Japan of note until now has been Qantas Airways' Jetstar which flies between Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
ANA meanwhile have announced plans to unveil a low-cost airline for international and domestic routes from Kansai airport near Osaka in late 2011.
Air Asia X CEO Azran Osman-Rani said at a Tokyo press conference they may compete there too.

"As far as other airports in Japan, we remain very interested. We could operate at at least three different airports over a couple of years," he said.
