TOKYO, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
OAG (www.oag.com), the global leader in aviation intelligence, and Japan

have signed a multi-year agreement in which OAG will provide aviation market
data to the airport. The data provided will assist the airport in its
decision making process and ensure an efficient operation for the airlines

airport is expected to greatly increase over the next three years. During the
months of October and November 2010 alone, the number of international
flights is expected to more than double, from 565 to 1,369.

international passengers this year, to eight million in 2011, making
operational efficiency critical," said Mario Hardy, Vice President Asia

"The airport's long awaited fourth runway and its highly coveted slots
have received much press coverage over the past few months as many airlines

recent years, and to support Haneda Airport's operation with the supply of

About Haneda Airport
Tokyo International Airport at Haneda, the core base of Japan Airport
Terminal Co., Ltd., was returned to Japan by the United States in 1952, at
which time its name was changed from "Tokyo Aerodrome" to "Tokyo
International Airport". With this resumption of the gateway to Japan, there
was an urgent necessity to provide the facility with the functions of an
international airport fully capable of serving Tokyo. Japan Airport Terminal
Co., Ltd. was established to meet this crucial need and soon commissioned to
construct and manage the terminal building with private capital in
cooperation with Japan's leading business companies.
