[TOKYO] Tokyo's Haneda Airport doubled its international flights to 80 a day from March 30 in a bid to court international travellers and boost capacity ahead of the 2020 Olympics.

Haneda, the fourth busiest airport in the world, has better access to the Japanese capital's downtown than suburban Narita airport, which has until now been the major international gateway.

"I live in the UK and I am very happy," said Takahiro Kato before he got aboard a flight for London. "It's going to make my life easier. It's much more convenient to come to Japan now."
