Bandara Internasional Narita adalah salah satu dari dua bandara utama yang melayani kawasan Tokyo Raya di Jepang, terutama menangani penerbangan internasional dan layanan jarak jauh. Terletak di Narita, Prefektur Chiba, sekitar 60 kilometer di timur pusat Tokyo, bandara ini dibuka pada 1978 setelah bertahun-tahun kontroversi dan protes dari petani lokal yang menentang pengambilalihan lahan. Narita menangani lebih dari 35 juta penumpang per tahun di tiga terminal. Terminal 1 digunakan oleh maskapai layanan penuh termasuk Japan Airlines dan anggota aliansi oneworld dan Star Alliance, sementara Terminal 2 melayani All Nippon Airways dan maskapai mitra. Terminal 3, dirancang untuk maskapai berbiaya rendah, dibuka pada 2015 dengan desain bertema lintasan lari yang khas untuk meminimalkan biaya konstruksi. Narita adalah gerbang internasional utama Japan Airlines dan hub utama All Nippon Airways dan Peach Aviation. Bandara ini terhubung ke Tokyo melalui kereta Narita Express yang mencapai Tokyo Station dalam sekitar 60 menit, dan Keisei Skyliner yang menghubungkan ke stasiun Ueno dan Nippori dalam 36 menit. Meskipun bersaing dengan Bandara Haneda yang lebih dekat untuk layanan internasional, Narita tetap menjadi bandara terbesar Jepang untuk penumpang internasional dan menangani sebagian besar penerbangan antarbenua yang melayani kawasan metropolitan Tokyo. Bandara ini mengoperasikan dua landasan pacu dan juga termasuk di antara bandara kargo teratas di Asia, berfungsi sebagai hub logistik kritis bagi ekonomi Jepang.
