Since the “U.S.-Japan Civil Air Transport Agreement” was signed in 1952, for as long as four decades, the U.S. government had provided advantageous positions to its airlines in comparison to their Japanese counterparts. During this period, the Japanese government kept trying to achieve a level playing field for Japanese airlines but was not successful.
However, the outcome of the negotiations has changed since 1998, when Japan rejected the U.S.-proposed “Open Skies Agreements” and succeeded in improving its carriers’rights. However, Japan’s attitude changed drastically during the 2009 negotiations, when Japan willingly proposed the “Open Skies Agreements” and succeeded in making further amendments in the assured rights of air services held by U.S. carriers. During the latest negotiations in 2016, both nations were rather cooperative while sharing interests in the expanding business at the Haneda Airport;the U.S. negotiators rejected strong pressure from the Delta Airline, which had strongly resisted both nations to reach the agreement.
This study explains the mechanism of the political processes underlying the three negotiations mentioned above. It points out the characteristics of the negotiations and factors that affected their processes. The reason for the shift in the Japanese government’s political attitude toward the “Open Skies Agreements” was the expansion of alliances in the global aviation market from the late 1990s to early 2000s. The government assumed that establishing agreements with other countries would help the Japanese airline industry, consumers, and macro economy prosper.
