ANA was the only airline to serve Noto Airport before the airport was damaged and closed due to an earthquake that shook Japan on January 1, 2024. The airline was quick to restart the flights after the airport reopened but only in the form of temporary, less frequent flights. The situation is now expected to continue at least until April 25, 2024.
The temporary flights will continue to operate three times a week as follows:
- NH1451 / Tokyo Haneda – Noto / 8:55AM – 9:50AM / Tue, Thu, Sat
- NH1452 / Noto – Tokyo Haneda / 11:30AM – 12:35PM / Tue, Thu, Sat
That is in contrast with the two daily rotations operated before the earthquake.
From April 26, 2024, onward, ANA has two daily flights scheduled at this point as follows:
- 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
Whether the regular flights will operate as planned from that date or be postponed further remains to be seen.
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.
