Growing Passenger Demand

  • International passengers have steadily increased since the re-internationalization in FY2011.3. In FY2020.3, international

    passenger numbers were about four times higher than in FY2011.3.

  • FY2025.3 Passengers: Approx. 88.00 million people/year (241,000 people/day) Passenger demand is expected to continue growing as airport capacity is expanded.

Comparison with Airport Access in Other Countries (Airports approximately 10 km from city centers)

  • Haneda Airport takes longer travel time relative to distance compared to overseas airports. Frankfurt ⇒ Approx. 10 min

Copenhagen ⇒ Approx. 12 min Zurich ⇒ Approx. 10 min

Haneda Airport ⇒ Approx. 30 min (Tokyo)

Need to Strengthen and Enhance Access to Haneda Airport

‌Background and Positioning of the Project
  • Aug 2014 Proposal of concept by JR East at the Subcommittee of the Council for Transport Policy

  • Jul 2015 Tokyo Metropolitan Government Wide-Area Transportation Network Review Committee

    ⇒ Designated as a priority route for development

  • Apr 2016 Council for Transport Policy Report No.198

    ⇒ Recognized as a railway network project contributing to

    strengthening international competitiveness

  • Jul 2018 JR East Group Management Vision: “Move Up” 2027

    ⇒ Included promotion of the Haneda Airport Access Line concept

  • May 2019 Submission of Environmental Impact Assessment Study Plan to

    Haneda Airport Domestic Terminal

Excerpt from “Council for Transport Policy Report No. 198”

Tokyo Metropolitan Government (= start of environmental assessment)

(East Yamate route and New Access Line section)

  • Jan 2021 Railway project approval obtained for the New

    Access Line section

  • Aug 2022 Environmental Impact Assessment Report published

  • Jan 2023 Approval obtained for railway facility modifications

    for the improvement section (East Yamate route)

‌Role and Synergies within the JR East Group

Basic Concept

The JR East Group will operate its unique TOD model called “J-TOD” by utilizing synergy between Mobility and Lifestyle Solutions. Through the provision of its unique services, such as Suica, and the collaboration with local administrative agencies and businesses, the Group will create diverse networks to generate network synergy.

Revitalizing the commercial use of the areas along railway lines

[Lifestyle Solutions]

Synergies between businesses

  • Collaboration with the Tohoku Shinkansen and other lines at Tokyo Station increases usage not only on the sections directly served by the Haneda Airport Access Line(tentative name)but across the Group’s mobility services.

  • Realize direct access to Haneda Airport from multiple lines, including the Utsunomiya, Takasaki, and Joban Lines.

  • Enhance city–airport connectivity through coordination with the Tokyo Monorail.

    Increasing the use of airport transportation of the JR East Group

    • Strengthen town development along railway lines, such as the Greater Shinagawa Area

    Increasing tourist traffic into the JR East areas

‌Relationship with the Tokyo Monorail

From the press release

From the press release

    • Access to Terminal 3 and other areas is planned to be enhanced through coordination between the Haneda Airport Access Line(tentative name) and the Tokyo Monorail.

    • Furthermore, the Tokyo Monorail is expected to remain an important transportation service rooted in the local community, supported not only by airport access demand but also by commuter demand along the Line, as well as anticipated increases in ridership associated with redevelopment around Hamamatsucho Station and growing usage in the Haneda Airport area.
