SAN DIEGO (CNS) — Japan Airlines Thursday announced it will increase nonstop service between San Diego International Airport and Tokyo's Narita International Airport to daily, year-round flights starting Aug. 1.
According to SAN leadership, the increase from the current four-times- weekly schedule comes as demand for travel between San Diego and Asia continues to grow. Passenger traffic on San Diego-Asia routes rose 42% from 2023 to 2025.
"JAL has operated nonstop service between San Diego and Tokyo since 2012," said Atif Saeed, president and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. "Since the route launched, more than 30 Japanese companies have invested approximately $8.7 billion in San Diego County. With deep economic and defense ties between our regions, increased air service will further strengthen these valuable relationships."
