Narita airport took the name “New Tokyo International Airport” up to 2004 in order to differentiate itself from other Airports also serving Tokyo, such as Haneda.
Incidentally, Greater Tokyo also contains two military air bases; Yokota and (Naval Air Facility) NAF Atsugi, which are home to an American presence in the region.
Cargo is a very important aspect of Narita airport’s activities as it facilitates the profitable trade around Asia, America and Europe, whereby exports account for a staggering $12 billion.
Narita accounts for 70% of Japan’s entire cargo imports and exports by value: Even including maritime ports! Regarding volume of air cargo handled (in tons), Narita International Airport is ranked third in the world after Hong Kong (China) and Incheon (South Korea) respectively. (Source: www.naa.jp)
The future of Narita’s dominance as an international Airport is being challenged with the nearby development in 2009 of a further two competing civil airports; Ibaraki Airport (developed from the Hyakuri Air Base) and Shizuoka Airport (newly constructed).
