Narita is a major hub for United and Northwest Airlines connecting flights from US to major cities in Asia.... United now fly direct to cities like Singapore and does not stop in Narita any more.... Northwest is now Delta....
Most are 200s for that the 400 was 1988 released there were a lot around already. 300 is veeery rare swiss had them. but the 200 and 400 version was the cashcow for boeing when it comes to 747.
8:20 these UA 744s in the Pacific config had just 300ish seats with a huge first class section from the nose back to door 2. Even at the time, they could have flown from Newark all the way to Guam nonstop if they had wanted to
Does Anyone happen to know if a Timetable showing ALL flights WORLDWIDE from Narita was published in the early 1990s? I have looked on google everywhere but can find NO trace of anything.
+Luke Tansiongco just spotted your reply Ta for that I spent a memorable day stopover in a top floor lounge at Narita early to mid 90s both Northwest and United were parking their 747s in a star pattern 4 aircraft parked nose in, they are large aircraft so this is probably an economical use of space but they kept on arriving, I was intrigued
United and Northwest previously had a hub for connecting to other airports in Asia. They now fly nonstop flights and no longer use Narita airport as a hub.
