Today in Tokyo, U.S. and Japanese government delegations signed a Record of Discussions to recommend that the two governments amend the Open Skies civil air transport agreement between the two countries.  The proposed amendment would expand daytime passenger service between Tokyo’s Haneda Airport and U.S. destinations.  It would provide for 12 additional slot pairs (12 arrivals and 12 departures daily) during daytime hours for U.S. air carriers and the same for Japanese carriers.  Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Transportation Affairs Hugo Yon and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Assistant Vice-Minister for International Aviation Jotaro Horiuchi signed on behalf of their respective delegations.

The new flights are expected to begin on or around March 29, 2020, with the beginning of the IATA Summer 2020 traffic season.  Both U.S. and Japanese carriers have expressed strong interest in offering additional daytime service to Haneda.  U.S. carriers currently operate five daytime flights and one nighttime flight daily to and from Haneda.  Passengers and businesses alike will welcome this expansion of convenient access to downtown Tokyo, and the new opportunities for trade and tourism will also deliver real economic benefits for U.S. workers and their communities.

今天在东京，美国和日本政府代表团签署了一份讨论记录，建议两国政府修改两国之间的开放天空民用航空运输协议。 拟议修正案将扩大东京羽田机场与美国目的地之间的日间客运服务。 它将在美国航空公司的白天时段提供12个额外的插槽对（每天12个到达和12个离开），对于日本运营商也是如此。 副国务卿运输事务副部长Hugo Yon和国土交通省助理副部长Jotaro Horiuchi代表各自代表团签字。

随着IATA 2020年夏季交通季节的开始，预计新航班将于2020年3月29日左右开始。 美国和日本航空公司都表示有兴趣为羽田提供额外的日间服务。 美国航空公司目前每天往返于羽田机场，每天有五趟航班和一趟夜间航班。 乘客和企业都欢迎这种方便进入东京市中心的扩展，贸易和旅游的新机会也将为美国工人及其社区带来真正的经济利益。

代表美利坚合众国和日本的代表团于2019年1月24日至25日在华盛顿特区举行会议，讨论与各国之间航空关系进一步发展有关的事项。 授权列表显示在附件中。 磋商是在最友好和最具建设性的气氛中进行的。

各代表团希望记录以下内容：

1. 羽田国际机场

1.1各代表团打算向其政府建议修订1952年8月11日在东京签署的美利坚合众国与日本民用航空运输协定附表（经修订）（“协定”），下面。

美利坚合众国与日本之间的谅解备忘录附件第3节（“2010年谅解备忘录”）应于2010年11月13日在横滨交换票据，并予以删除，并替换为以下内容：

“第3节

进入东京国际机场（羽田）

以下内容适用于附件中规定的包括东京国际机场（以下简称“羽田”）的国际航空运输：

1. 每个缔约方的指定航空公司可用于预定组合服务的航班时刻应限制在0600和2255小时（当地时间）之间的白天时段总共十七（17）对航班时刻和晚期一（1）对航班时刻晚上和凌晨2200至0655小时（当地时间）; 不允许有额外的部分;

2. 预定组合服务的插槽不得用于全货运服务; 和

3. 每个缔约方的航空公司每年的单程包机航班不得超过六百（600）条。“

1.2各代表团打算向其政府建议拟议的修正案通过各国政府之间的外交照会交换生效。 各代表团打算向其政府建议，只有在国际，基础设施，运输和旅游部在协商后实现扩展并与受影响者达成共识之后，才能在羽田机构提供新的航班时间之后进行这种交换。地方政府和居民，以及美国运输部确定新的航班时刻合理地满足美国航空公司的运营需求。

1.3美国代表团注意到Haneda持续的物理和运营限制阻碍了全货运航空公司在机场的运营。

1.4美国代表团进一步注意到羽田作为通往日本的国际门户的重要性，以及为服务于机场的美国，日本和其他国际航空公司建立自由化的老虎机交易制度的必要性。 美国代表团回顾说，日本签署了2010年谅解备忘录，放宽了美国与日本之间的航空关系，从而承诺开放天空原则，并指出在2022年之前在羽田实施全面开放的老虎机交易制度的重要性。日本代表团注意到日本民航局（JCAB）有意考虑同时采取以下两项措施，以便在羽田进一步开放，美国航空公司将有能力从任何其他航空公司获得航班时刻，并予以实施在2022年：

1.取消对美国和日本指定航空公司的航班对数量的限制，但须符合以下运营条件：

• 插槽仅用于预定组合服务;

• 白天在0600和2255小时（当地时间）之间使用的插槽在指定用于国际预定服务的插槽对的总数内; 和

• 在2200和0655小时（当地时间）的深夜和凌晨使用的插槽位于指定用于国际定期服务的插槽对的总数内。

2.在羽田机场应用航班交易制度，使运营商能够根据IATA全球航班时刻指南交换，转让和租赁航班时刻。

美国代表团注意到这一解释，并且各代表团强调他们期望这一主题在未来的谈判中至关重要，不迟于2021年1月开始。

2. 其他事项

2.1各代表团确认，根据拟议修正案接收新槽位的航空公司在美国运输部发布其最终订单之前不会参与与其新航班有关的营销，销售或任何其他公开披露。预计将在2019年8月之前发生对美国航空公司的航班对。

2。2日本代表团向美国代表团解释，为应对日本公众对飞行中飞机坠落物的日益关注，任何和所有航空公司，包括在日本服务的外国航空公司，都将被要求建立一套确保措施落实的制度。防止物体在飞行中从飞机上掉下来。 日本代表团赞赏美国代表团对采取措施应对这一问题的承认与合作。 美国代表团注意到日本代表团的解释，并确认美国航空安全管理局打算继续与日本同行就这些问题进行合作。

2.3美国代表团指出，它继续关注全货运服务的第七自由交通权。 各代表团确认，他们的政府将继续促进改变计量和第五自由交通权，以便为全货运服务提供最大程度的灵活性。

2.4各代表团强调，他们打算在2020年东京夏季奥林匹克运动会结束后，不迟于2021年1月开始进行磋商，讨论各种事项，包括修正案的实施进展情况，以及2020年后的详细情况。羽田的框架。 美国代表团还指出，未来任何增加羽田机场国际航班时段分配的建议应包括美国航空公司的一部分航班时刻，这是美国航空公司参与机场和航空市场未来增长的预期愿望。

Delegations representing the United States of America and Japan met in Washington, D.C., on January 24-25, 2019, to discuss matters relating to further developments of the aviation relations between the countries. The delegation lists are shown in the Attachment. The consultations were conducted in the most friendly and constructive atmosphere.

The delegations wish to record the following:

1. Haneda International Airport

1.1       The delegations intend to recommend to their governments the proposed amendment to the Schedule to the Civil Air Transport Agreement between the United States of America and Japan, signed at Tokyo on August 11, 1952, as amended (the “Agreement”), set forth below.

Section 3 of the Annex to the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and Japan (“2010 MOU”), effected by exchange of notes at Yokohama on November 13, 2010, as amended, should be deleted and replaced with the following:

“Section 3

Access to Tokyo International Airport (Haneda)

The following shall apply to international air transportation prescribed in the Annex that includes Tokyo International Airport (hereinafter referred to as “Haneda”):

1. The slots available for scheduled combination service by the designated airlines of each Party shall be limited to a total of seventeen (17) pairs of slots during daytime hours between 0600 and 2255 hours (local time) and one (1) pair of slots during late night and early morning hours between 2200 and 0655 hours (local time); extra sections shall not be permitted;

2. Slots for scheduled combination service shall not be used for all-cargo service; and

3. Airlines of each Party, in the aggregate, may operate no more than six hundred (600) one-way charter flights per year.”

1.2       The delegations intend to recommend to their governments that the proposed amendment enter into force through an exchange of diplomatic notes between the governments. The delegations intend to recommend to their governments that this exchange only occur after new slots are made available at Haneda as a result of expansion to be realized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism after consultations and reaching a common understanding with affected local governments and residents, and after the U.S. Department of Transportation’s determination that the new slots reasonably meet U.S. airlines’ operational needs. The delegations expressed the intent of their aeronautical authorities to apply the terms of this amendment on the basis of comity and reciprocity at least until the initial allocation of slot times by Japan Schedule Coordination to U.S. carriers on October 31, 2019.

1.3       The U.S. delegation took note of the continued physical and operational constraints at Haneda that prevent all-cargo airlines from establishing operations at the airport.

1.4       The U.S. delegation further noted the prominence of Haneda as an international gateway to Japan, and the need to create a liberalized slot-trading regime for U.S., Japanese, and other international carriers serving the airport. The U.S. delegation recalled that Japan signed the 2010 MOU liberalizing the aviation relationship between the United States and Japan, thereby committing to Open Skies principles, and noted the importance of implementing a fully liberalized slot-trading regime at Haneda no later than 2022.  The Japanese delegation noted the intention of the Civil Aviation Bureau of Japan (JCAB) to consider the following two measures to be taken simultaneously for further liberalization at Haneda, through which U.S. airlines would have the ability to obtain slots from any other airline, and to be implemented in 2022:

1. Lifting the limitation on the number of slot pairs for the designated airlines of the United States and Japan, subject to the following operational conditions:

• the slots are used for scheduled combination service only;

• the slots that are used during daytime hours between 0600 and 2255 hours (local time) are within the total number of slot pairs designated for international scheduled service; and

• the slots that are used during late night and early morning hours between 2200 and 0655 hours (local time) are within the total number of slot pairs designated for international scheduled service.2.

2. Applying a slot trading regime at Haneda that gives carriers the ability to swap, transfer and lease slots based on the IATA Worldwide Slot Guidelines.

The U.S. delegation took note of this explanation and the delegations underscored their expectation that this topic will be of primary importance in the future negotiations to commence no later than January 2021.

2. Other Matters

2.1       The delegations confirmed that airlines receiving new slot pairs under the proposed amendment would not engage in marketing, sales, or any other public disclosure relating to their new flights prior to the date on which the U.S. Department of Transportation issues its final order on the allocation of slot pairs to U.S. airlines, expected to occur no later than August 2019.

2.2       The Japanese delegation explained to the U.S. delegation that in response to growing public concern in Japan regarding objects falling from aircraft in flight, any and all airlines, including foreign airlines serving Japan, will be required to establish a system that ensures the implementation of measures to prevent objects falling from aircraft in flight.  The Japanese delegation appreciated the acknowledgement and cooperation from the U.S. delegation on its introduction of the measures to cope with this issue.  The U.S. delegation noted the explanation of the Japanese delegation and confirmed that the U.S. aviation safety authority intends to continue to work with its Japanese counterpart regarding these matters.

2.3       The U.S. delegation noted its continuing interest in seventh freedom traffic rights for all-cargo service.  The delegations confirmed that their governments would continue to facilitate the exercise of change of gauge and fifth freedom traffic rights to provide the greatest level of flexibility for all-cargo service.

2.4       The delegations underscored their intention to hold consultations, after the end of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games and commencing no later than January 2021, to discuss various matters, including progress of the implementation of the amendment, as well as a detailed post-2020 framework at Haneda. The U.S. delegation also noted that any future proposal to increase slot allocations for international service at Haneda should include a proportion of slots for U.S. airlines, accounting for the anticipated desires of U.S. airlines to participate in the future growth of the airport and aviation market.
