Instead? I thought the idea was for the two airports to share the load of international flights? Theoretically reducing the urgency of adding new runways or terminals when (or if) the industry picks up again. And also keeping Narita free of 1 and 2 a.m. flights while Haneda gets all the noise.

It is sad that Narita airport is 100 km from Tokyo.
