New flights create a more direct link between
Guam and Tokyo's city center
Service is scheduled to start on May 1 and tickets will go on sale tonight
CHICAGO, Feb. 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines will launch
daily nonstop flights between Guam
and Tokyo Haneda International Airport on May 1*. Flights will operate year-round and
create a more direct link between Guam and Japan's capital, given the Haneda airport's
proximity to the city center. These new flights build on United's
32 weekly flights between Guam and
Tokyo-Narita, and tickets will go on sale
tonight.
"As we grow our global network, we're always looking for
opportunities to give our customers more choice and strengthen
links between countries. This route – connecting Tokyo's most convenient airport with our
unique Guam hub – accomplishes
just that. I appreciate the support of the Department of
Transportation in recognizing the importance of this route to our
customers and stakeholders," said Patrick
Quayle, United's Senior Vice President of Global Network
Planning and Alliances.
United plans to operate a 737-800 on this route, which has room
for 166 customers – including 16 business class seats. The flight
is scheduled to depart Guam at
19:00 local time and arrive at Haneda at 22:00 on the same day. On
the return, the flight will depart Haneda at 23:55 and arrive in
Guam at 04:45 the next day.

14 destinations. United has operated in Guam for more than 55 years and is the only
