The viewing decks at Japanese airports have a great reputation among photographers and Haneda did not disappoint. Skymark was a low-cost carrier with 18 737s at this time. In February 2011, they became the first airline in Japan to order the A380 which they intended to use on long-haul routes to Europe and the USA, but the carrier declared bankruptcy in 2015 so these were cancelled while 767s and A330s were sold. Skymark continued flying after restructure with 737s only

Japan has operated 13 Hawkeyes from Misawa AB, beginning in 1987. In November 2014, the Japanese government decided to procure E-2Ds instead of Boeing 737 AEW aircraft. These will have new avionics, improved engines, glass cockpit and potential for air-to-air refuelling
