KYOTO, Japan – Kyoto will be getting new international flights from the US and Canada.

Japan Airlines recently announced its expansion plans include the addition of a non-stop daily flight between Los Angeles and Kansai International Airport, which will start in March 2015. And from May 2015, Air Canada will introduce a direct non-stop service between Vancouver and Kansai International Airport, offering five flights a week.

Kyoto Convention and Visitor Bureauโ€™s international marketing co-ordinator James Widgren says the new flights will make the city more accessible for international delegates and bring more events to the region.

โ€œThe city of Kyoto is an attractive destination to organizations looking to hold international events because of its cultural heritage as well as its academic strength,” he said in a statement.

โ€œInfrastructure plays an important role when organizers choose a destination…Increasing the number of international delegates to Kyoto will have a positive economic benefit to the whole province.โ€
