According to the May 19th edition of Japanese aviation newspaper Daily Aviation, All Nippon Airways (NH/ANA) is considering launching Istanbul/Atatürk (IST/LTBA) from Tokyo/Haneda (HND/RJTT) later this year. The wholly-owned subsidiary of ANA Holdings would utilize Haneda's midnight hour (2200 – 0700) slot just recently allocated for Turkey service, and will likely operate with Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Earlier on May 16th, the authorities of Japan and Turkey together announced that they had reached an agreement to allocate one slot each to both sides for a Haneda – Turkey service using the midnight hours effective October 26th. Growing Turkish Airlines (TK/THY) is currently the sole carrier in the Japan – Turkey market, serving Tokyo/Narita (NRT/RJAA) 14 times weekly and Osaka/Kansai (KIX/RJBB) seven times weekly from their hub at Istanbul/Atatürk. ANA would be able to leverage the Star Alliance partner's extensive network.
