The government will boost the flight capacity of Haneda airport on Oct. 1 by giving domestic carriers 14 daily departure and arrival slots to meet increasing demand, the transport ministry said Monday.
Haneda is used primarily for domestic flights. Five of the new slots will be allocated to startup carriers, two to Japan Airlines Corp. and three to All Nippon Airways Co.
The remaining four will be used for chartered flights to Kimpo airport in Seoul.
