OAG Announces Long-Term Agreement with Haneda Airport


TOKYO, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    OAG (www.oag.com), the global leader in aviation intelligence, and Japan

Airport Terminal Co. Ltd., operator of Tokyo International Airport at Haneda,

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

with services at the airport.


    Haneda Airport is anticipating a period of strong growth since its fourth

runway and international passenger terminal began operations on 21 October.

Additionally, rapid expansion of the airport's international flight schedules

is planned to begin on 31 October. As a result, passenger capacity at the

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.


    "Passenger growth at Haneda Airport is expected to grow from 5 million

international passengers this year, to eight million in 2011, making

operational efficiency critical," said Mario Hardy, Vice President Asia

Pacific, UBM Aviation. "Our investment in leading-edge technologies, our

unequalled knowledge, expertise, and commitment to deliver superior aviation

market data makes us the perfect supplier to Haneda Airport."


    "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

tried to secure routes from various continents and destinations. OAG is

pleased to be part of one of the largest airport expansion plans in Japan in

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

its aviation market data," continued Hardy.

    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.
