“Our customers have repeatedly asked for convenient access to downtown Tokyo during the day,” said Andrew Nocella, American’s chief marketing officer in a statement. “American’s proposed service provides daytime access to Haneda from our West Coast gateway in Los Angeles and our largest and most centrally located hub in Dallas/Fort Worth – two regions with substantial and growing local and connecting traffic to Asia.”

American Airlines is looking to arrange a daily nonstop flight to Haneda from Dallas and back. Also, to Haneda from Los Angeles and back. This is according to a recent company press release.

The company said it’s also investing some $3 billion in plane upgrades, including Wi-Fi and inflight entertainment systems.
