(TAN): Delta is opening its first Delta Sky Club at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport – the only club there operated by a US airline, the airline said in a news release.
“We’ve been looking forward to this day for years,” said Claude Roussel, managing director of Delta Sky Club. “Bringing the signature Delta Sky Club experience to Haneda as we continue to grow our network of premium, one-of-a-kind lounges is a huge moment for our Asia-Pacific partners, and all future Haneda Club customers.”
Haneda marks Delta Sky Club’s third new lounge of the year, with the airline’s two largest Clubs — at Terminal C at New York’s LaGuardia Airport and Terminal 3 at Los Angeles International Airport — just opened this spring. Delta is building more Delta Sky Clubs across its network and expanding existing Clubs.

The premier space signifies the completion of Delta’s service shift from Tokyo’s Narita airport to Haneda, which is more conveniently located and favored by business travellers. Initially set to open in the summer of 2020 ahead of the Olympic games, the long-awaited Club has sat empty since March 2020. As Japan gradually reopens to international travel, the Delta Sky Club team is ready to share the new lounge with the world.
Located on the fifth floor of Terminal 3, the Club features a premium bar serving seasonal cocktails, wines, beers, spirits and Japanese sake – all complimentary for guests. A specialty, made-to-order noodle bar staffed by a dedicated chef will provide a delicious taste of the popular regional cuisine. A buffet bar will serve international and Asian-inspired meals prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients in the Club’s restaurant-quality kitchen.
