of international air traffic in Japan. It is classified as First class

Northwest Airlines, and United Airlines
Due to land scarcity, the initial and ongoing development of Narita
Airport has been the cause of great controversy. The Japanese government has
offered to relocate home-owners in the surrounding regions however neighbors
have threatened to burn down the new home of those who voluntarily moves.
Arguments over slots and landing fees have plagued the busy airport. The
airport is expensive to access because so many airlines want to use it,
therefore the Japanese aviation authorities have limited the number of
flights each airline can operate from this airport.
