Tokyo International Airport , located in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan, is one of the two primary airports serving the Greater Tokyo Area.
It is commonly known as Haneda Airport to differentiate it from Narita International Airport, which was called "New Tokyo International Airport" until 2004. Narita handles most international flights to the region; Haneda's two international services are "city to city" to Gimpo International Airport in Seoul, South Korea, and Hongqiao International Airport flights to Shanghai. All Nippon Airways will begin service from Haneda to Hong Kong on April 1, 2008. "blank">ANA to start Haneda-Hong Kong route in April," _Daily Yomiuri Online

By passenger throughput, Haneda is the busiest airport in Asia, handling 65.3 million passengers in 2006 .
