United Announces Daily Nonstop Flights Between Guam and Tokyo

United Airlines will launch daily nonstop flights between Guam and Tokyo Haneda International Airport on May 1. Because of the Haneda airport’s close proximity to the city centre, flights will be available all year round, establishing a more direct connection between Guam and the capital of Japan.

“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 recognising the importance of this route to our customers and stakeholders,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s Senior Vice President of Global Network Planning and Alliances.

On this trip, United intends to use a 737-800 aircraft, which can accommodate 166 passengers, including 16 seats in business class. On the planned day, the aircraft is expected to take off from Guam at 19:00 local time and land in Haneda at 22:00. The flight is scheduled to return from Haneda at 23:55 and land in Guam at 04:45 the following day.

United is the largest airline in Guam, offering more than 87 weekly flights to 14 destinations. As the sole airline now operating flights between Guam and Osaka, Fukuoka, and Nagoya in Japan, as well as islands in the Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, and Palau, United has been operating in Guam for more than 55 years.

United will now fly to Guam in addition to New York/Newark, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and six more cities from Haneda every day. United also operates 10 daily flights to Tokyo’s Narita airport, with service to New York/Newark, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Guam, and Saipan. United offers more seats from the United States to Tokyo than any other U.S. airline.
