With the exception of two local municipalities near Narita International Airport, an agreement has been reached to extend the airport's operating hours.
The two municipalities object to the noise from planes from late night arrivals and departures.
NHK World reported:
Narita Airport, near Tokyo, is expected to extend its operating hours until midnight, starting in October.
The transport ministry and the airport's operator had asked nine neighboring municipalities to allow the extension for one of the two runways until 12 midnight, one hour longer than now.
The extension is aimed at receiving more visitors ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.
