HNL-NRT Service Not to Start in 2004
The following statement is for employees interested in the status of AA service between Honolulu, HI (HNL) and Tokyo, Japan (NRT):
"American Airlines will not start the proposed Honolulu-Tokyo service this year. As you may know, Tokyo's Narita Airport is slot-controlled.
"Though we expended a great deal of effort to acquire the slots necessary to begin this service, ultimately we were unable to put together the number of slots we needed at times that would make HNL-NRT service work for startup by the end of 2004.
"We are still interested in the ability to fly this route, and we will continue our efforts to put together a schedule that makes sense for the airline and our customers."
