I was looking at Tokyo to Fukuoka and Haneda to Sapporo schedules and honestly couldn’t believe it. Widebodies stacked one after another. Feels like departures every 10 to 15 minutes.
I always thought routes like LHR to CDG or LAX to JFK were peak high frequency corridors. But some of these Japanese domestic routes seem even crazier, especially with how many widebodies they run.
I get that Japan is dense and rail is huge there too, which makes it even more surprising.
What’s driving that level of demand? Pure business traffic? Geography? Slot constraints at Haneda so they upgauge everything?
Genuinely curious how it works.
