All Nippon Airways Co. launched a service Sunday between Narita airport and Brussels, making the Belgian capital and home of the European Union its sixth European destination.
In a move targeting mainly business travelers, the carrier will fly to Brussels once a day.
It comes after its launch last month of a Narita-Kuala Lumpur route.
Also Sunday, ANA suspended its Narita-Paris route and will instead divert all flights to and from the French capital to Tokyo's Haneda airport.
Located closer to central Tokyo, Haneda formerly served mostly domestic flights when Narita opened in 1978 for international services.
However, international flights have increased at Haneda since a fourth runway was completed in 2010.
