Last month, ANA announced it would continue serving Noto Airport in the January 1 earthquake-struck region with temporary flights from Tokyo at least until April 25, 2024. While the plan was to do so three times a week, the airline has now revised the plan to include daily flights from April 15, 2024.
The daily temporary flights will continue to operate with the same departure and arrival times as the current three weekly (every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) flights:
- NH1451 / Tokyo Haneda – Noto / 8:55AM – 9:50AM
- NH1452 / Noto – Tokyo Haneda / 11:30AM – 12:35PM
While for now, ANA has two daily flights scheduled from April 26, 2024, onward as it did before the earthquake, at this point it is not clear whether they will resume as planned. Should they resume, the scheduled flights will operate with the following schedule:
- NH747 / Tokyo Haneda – Noto / 8:55AM – 9:50AM
- NH748 / Noto – Tokyo Haneda / 10:30AM – 11:35AM
- NH749 / Tokyo Haneda – Noto / 3:25PM – 4:20PM
- NH750 / Noto – Tokyo Haneda / 4:55PM – 6:05PM
While the temporary flights and the afternoon scheduled rotation will be operated by Boeing 737-800 aircraft, the morning rotation is scheduled to be operated using Airbus A321neo aircraft.
ANA is not only the sole airline to serve Noto Airport now but it was also the sole airline to serve the airport before the earthquake. The route from Tokyo Haneda was the sole route the airport had before the earthquake too.
