The Sapporo route attracted 3.4 million passengers, compared to 3.25 million for Fukuoka. This shift is attributed to the recovery of leisure travel post-COVID-19, making Sapporo the top domestic route. ANA increased the use of larger aircraft and enhanced promotions for the Sapporo route, boosting passenger numbers. Although Japan Airlines (JAL) still sees more passengers on the Haneda-Fukuoka route, the gap has significantly narrowed to around 2,300 passengers in FY2023, down from 82,000 in FY2022. JAL noted that while business travel has not fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels, the demand for leisure travel to Sapporo remains strong. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anahd.co.jp\/group\/pr\/pdf\/20240508.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ANA<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_ana-airplane_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sapporo Surpasses Fukuoka in Passenger Numbers on ANA\u2019s Haneda Routes\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-159819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_ana-airplane_2024_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_ana-airplane_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_ana-airplane_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_ana-airplane_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
