Japan Becoming More Business Jet Friendly?

by Matt on June 29, 2010

Japan is apparently rewriting some tough rules regarding business aircraft. AVWeb’s Russ Niles says an article in the Daily Yomiuri details a drastic drop in business aircraft traffic at Japan’s largest airports:

“Narita and Haneda…totals just 3,000 operations a year. By contrast, New York airports saw 255,000 business aircraft movements last year. “

For example, current regulations require private jets to book seven days in advance for a landing slot at Haneda and the maximum length of stay is five days; at Narita, the limit is seven days. Planned changes will also improve the customs and immigration process.
