Japan Airlines is increasing its nonstop service between Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Tokyo’s Narita International Airport to two flights daily from March 26, 2006.  The carrier’s current schedule of 10 flights per week will increase by four, making a total of 14 flights weekly between the two cities.

JAL’s daily morning schedule, JL009/010, will not change, and the carrier will increase its current schedule of three-weekly afternoon flights, JL003/004, to seven.  The new double daily service will give customers residing throughout the Midwest and Eastern U.S./Canada even more choices when traveling to and from JAL’s over 80 destinations throughout Japan, China and Southeast Asia.
