JAPAN REPORT: TIAT Unlock the full potential...
“TIAT will be renamed T3 at the end of March. It’s a big change as all signs at Haneda Airport must be changed; also, all train and airport bus timetables and all maps will be changed to use the new name.”

Vice President for Sales and Marketing, Tokyo International Air Terminal Corporation
TIAT is renovating seven luxury boutiques this year.
will take them down to Level 2 where there will be a tax free drug store, a tax free electronics shop and restaurant facilities.”
Negotiations underway Liquor, tobacco and confectionery will be on the left hand side as departing travellers enter the store; perfume, cosmetics and fashion will be displayed on the right. “Passengers can pick up items
and pay elsewhere in the shop,” according to Sugimoto. “There will be cash desks all
around the shop. The perfume and cosmetics brands will have island style checkout counters while liquor and tobacco will have supermarket style check-out desks.” Within the duty free store, there
will be a watches corner along with an area for bags, wallets and other leathergoods. “We will have a liquor tasting
Some flights will transfer from the TIAT terminal to the Annex, allowing for other airlines to move in when Haneda Airport’s total international flight slots increase next year; other flights from TIAT’s Annex may include new ANA international routes from Haneda. “We expect 20% of total
international passengers to move from TIAT terminal to T2, which ANA currently uses for domestic flights, but we are not sure what percentage of ANA international flights will move,” says Sugimoto. Seven gates in TIAT’s Annex will be
used for international flights. “In the morning, evening and at
night all seven gates will be used for international flights, but in the afternoon only three gates will be [used] for international flights,” explains Sugimoto. “We have no information yet

how many passengers will be transit passengers.” Upon commencement of
international flights from T2 (in 2020), Tokyo International Air Terminal will be renamed Terminal 3 to avoid confusion among new passengers using the airport. “TIAT will be renamed T3 at the end of March. It’s a big change as all signs at Haneda Airport must be changed; also, all train and airport bus timetables and all maps will be changed to use the new name.” TIAT’s new ‘T3’ will be serving
mainly Japanese passengers, so unsurprisingly the brand and product mix in the TIAT Annex duty free store will take this into consideration. “These are ANA passengers, so the
Japanese passenger share is bigger,” says Sugimoto. The demographic is also heavily proportioned to men. “So we are
same liquor brands as there already in the TIAT terminal; of course, a few new brands will be coming in.” TIAT’s largest shareholder, Jatco, will staff the perfume, cosmetics and fashion areas of the shop, while ANA Trading Duty Free Co Ltd will provide staff for the liquor and tobacco sales area. More detailed decisions on shop
merchandise and brands will be finalised once Haneda Airport’s senior management decide which international ANA flights will operate from the T2 TIAT Annex.
