The Philippines has secured double daily slots at Tokyo's Haneda airport, statement from the Civil Aviation Board disclosed.
CAB Executive Director Carmelo Arcilla said the air panel group from Japan's Department of Transport agreed to the increase in traffic rights between the two countries for total maximum flight of 400 frequencies per week from the previous 119 flights as both countries signed new Air Service Agreement (ASA).
"We also agreed on new traffic rights between Haneda Airport and Manila at 14 flights per week for each side, and unlimited traffic rights between points in the Philippines except Manila and points in Japan except Haneda," Arcilla said.
Fifth freedom traffic rights to the United States remain as previously agreed while Japan's fifth freedom traffic to Australia stays.
