Japan will ease restrictions over its air routes, allowing foreign carriers to launch services quickly without having to negotiate landing rights, an AFP report quoted a ministry statement.
“With the development of the framework of international air routes, we expect greater exchange with Asian countries and promote regional tourism.”
The ten countries of regional grouping ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) are also working on liberalising their air transport sectors.
Japan has targeted to receive 10 million foreign visitors by 2010. Last year, a record 8.1 million foreigners visited Japan.
