Delta Air Lines Inc. Chief Executive Officer Richard Anderson, targeting business fliers in Japan, urged officials there to create more takeoff and landing slots at Tokyo’s close-in Haneda Airport.
Expansion efforts at Haneda, where Delta wants 25 slot pairs, are being hampered by government favoritism toward domestic carriers such as Japan Airlines Co. and ANA Holdings Inc., Anderson said today in Tokyo. A few dozen more daytime slots for long-haul flights are being added at Haneda next year.
