Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Behind-the-scenes at the world’s most punctual mega airport

Haneda, or Tokyo International Airport, is the world’s fifth’s busiest airport with approximately 87 million passengers landed or departed last year. It is Japan’s central airport connecting nearly 50 other domestic airports. Haneda is also conveniently located as it takes only 30 minutes to get to Tokyo station and other major destinations in the capital city.

To your surprise, this busy airport has been awarded the world’s most punctual airport for four years in a row. In fact, it delivered over 85% of its flights on time in 2018, well above 77%, the average for other major airports in the world. So, what is the magic? Are there any special technologies or devices deployed in the airport like facial recognition cameras or body scanners that allow the passengers to go through security checkpoints non-stop? Is that because the airport is relatively compact in size for the volume of the passengers and the number of the flights? Please be reminded that at nearby Tokyo station, bullet trains leave punctually every few minutes.

Enjoy reading the article and learn about what makes things run smoothly and flawlessly.
