Delta Air Lines is providing more details on its move in Tokyo to the city's Haneda airport next March, setting dates for its new flights and planning a new lounge.

The SkyTeam Alliance carrier will begin flights to Tokyo Haneda (HND) from Atlanta (ATL), Detroit (DTW), Honolulu (HNL), Portland (PDX) in Oregon, and Seattle (SEA) on Mar. 28, it announced on Tuesday. The first departures from Haneda will occur a day later.

Delta will end service to Tokyo Narita (NRT), and close its hub in the city that dates back decades, on Mar. 28.

Delta will open a new 9,000 square foot Sky Club at Haneda by March as part of its move to the close-in Tokyo airport from Narita.

The Atlanta-based carrier will be the largest US airline at Haneda from March. The company won five of 12 available daytime flights at the airport that the U.S. Department of Transportation allocated in August. In addition, it already held two of the previously awarded six flights to Haneda.

The regulator awarded American Airlines two flights for service from Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and Los Angeles (LAX); Hawaiian Airlines on flight for service from Honolulu; and United Airlines four flights for service from Chicago O'Hare (ORD), Los Angeles, Newark Liberty (EWR) and Washington Dulles (IAD).

The new Portland-Las Vegas flights will be timed to connect with Delta's Haneda flight.
