Hourly Activity Pattern

A distinctly Narita Airport pattern emerges from the accumulated data — cargo movements cluster heavily in the early morning right after the curfew lifts, and again late at night just before it begins. Prime time for freighter watchers.

→ Monthly hourly-pattern comparison
Why the overnight gap: Narita operates under a legally mandated curfew — aircraft movements are prohibited from 23:00 to 06:00 (with very limited exceptions for the A runway until 24:00 in unavoidable cases). A completely empty band overnight is expected, not a data gap.

This Week's Cargo Trends

We round up more than the numbers — the operational story behind them, every week.

This week's watch: Ethiopian Airlines Cargo ramps up

Several new airframes, including ET-AWE, were detected on Narita rotations this week — a sign of strengthened Africa-bound capacity via Addis Ababa, with B777Fs now in the mix.

The Haneda shift, so far, hasn't touched cargo

Despite reported passenger-flight shifts toward Haneda, pure-freighter schedules show no major change — likely thanks to Narita's advantage in late-night slot availability.
