Narita winter schedule 2006/2007-Record-breaking 3,695 Flights

The number of weekly aircraft movements of the winter schedule in 2006/2007 at Narita International Airport has increased to 3,695 times, 162 times more than the summer schedule in 2006 according to Narita International Airport Co. (NAA)'s announcement on October 26. This is the highest number in the past as unused slots originally allotted for domestic flights (20 slots/day, 140 slots/week) were portioned out for international use; i.e., 146 slots/day (20 slots increased) for international flights, and 30 slots/day (20 slots decreased) for domestic flights, and that leads to airlines' decisions to increase their international flights.
