American, Hawaiian Airlines Look To Compete With Delta In Tokyo
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Competition is heating up for a U.S.-Japan route currently controlled by Delta Air Lines Inc.
American Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have applied to the U.S. Department of Transportation for the so-called slot or landing right at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. They say Delta isn't fully using the slot since reducing flights between Seattle and Haneda in October.
Monday was the deadline for other airlines to submit bids. The agency said last month that it would review the issue.
Fort Worth-based American Airlines Group Inc., which lodged a similar protest last fall, said Monday that it wants to fly daily nonstops between Los Angeles and Haneda. Hawaiian, owned by Hawaiian Holdings Inc., proposed daily flights to Tokyo from Kona, Hawaii.
