[edit] Air India story

Did that piece of luggage explode in Tokyo, or in Vancouver? If the entire incident happened in Canada, the story really has no relevance to Narita Airport. -- Sekicho 10:05, Mar 2, 2004 (UTC)

Sekicho, the luggage exploded in Tokyo. WhisperToMe 02:14, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion

"Recently, Tokyo International Airport was allowed to have other international flights within Asia, as well as to Hawaii, in an attempt to alleviate Narita's problems with capacity. There has been some discussion about exchanging roles between Narita airport and Haneda to accommodate Tokyo residents as Narita is in Chiba prefecture and a typical train ride from even the eastern parts of Tokyo on an express train takes roughly 1 hour."

Can someone explain the significance of Narita being in Chiba, this relationship to Tokyo, and ... what is Haneda? This is the first time Haneda is mentioned in the article!! --Golbez 04:01, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

Narita is usually understood to be the Tokyo airport that serves international flights. Haneda was the first airport and nowadays only serves flights within Japan. I mean, they do other flights but mostly it's domestic.

Also, Haneda is in Tokyo proper, while Narita is about 40km or so to the east. Tokyo was so crowded and thus an airport in the suburbs (per se) was essential. Mike H 04:02, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

So that is the first mention of Haneda in the article. And since Narita is so far east, in a different prefecture, it takes an hour to get there, even from the east side of Tokyo. Gotcha. --Golbez 04:17, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

An hour by train and even longer by car. Maybe not from the far east side of Tokyo but I know it was, like, three hours from Kanagawa prefecture, which is maybe 70km from Narita. 80 at most. Mike H 04:18, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Name change for Narita International Airport

The history shows some confusion over the name "Narita International Airport." My first instinct was that the name was wrong, since for many years, some people called it that in error.

I verified the name change took place on 01 April 2004, and added that information. The old name, "New Tokyo International Airport," was more descriptive of the destination most people thought of as departed for Japan. You don't hear people saying "I'm going to fly to Narita for business." Unless they are frequent travelers who just can't resist saying things like "I'm departing for Heathrow in the morning." --Reward 02:24, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] KHH service on UA and NW

Please stop putting Kaohsiung as a destination for United and Northwest. UA and NW do not fly to KHH! They never fly there, they only fly to TPE. Bucs2004 20:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

NW used to fly to Kaohsiung. But not anymore! WhisperToMe 21:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The name of the Japanese transport minister is not Noah.

FYI, Some goofball changed the name of the Japnese transport minister in the section about Narita Train Station to 'Noah Block'

[edit] JFK service on DL

One anon user has been adding New York-JFK as a destination for Delta. Delta does not fly to JFK from NRT....they only fly to Atlanta. Does Delta fly to JFK from NRT? I only recall them flying to Atlanta only. Bucs2004 03:40, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

They used to fly from JFK, but not anymore. WhisperToMe 18:25, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NAA logo.jpg

Image:NAA logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
