Japan Airlines (JAL) announced it will increase nonstop service between San Diego International Airport (SAN) and Tokyo’s Narita International Airport to daily, year-round flights beginning August 1, 2026.
The increase from the current four-times-weekly schedule comes as demand for travel between San Diego and Asia continues to grow. Passenger traffic on San Diego–Asia routes rose 42% from 2023 to 2025, driven by strong business, tourism, and cultural connections across the Pacific.
“JAL has operated nonstop service between San Diego and Tokyo since 2012,” said Atif Saeed, President and CEO, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. “Since the route launched, more than 30 Japanese companies have invested approximately $8.7 billion in San Diego County. With deep economic and defense ties between our regions, increased air service will further strengthen these valuable relationships.”
Travelers flying JAL from SAN can connect through Tokyo-Narita to 13 destinations across Asia. As a member of the oneworld® Alliance, JAL also offers access to an extensive global network and reciprocal loyalty program benefits with 16 partner airlines.
