The Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (MLIT) announced that starting from December 11, 2014, Runway C (RWY 34R/16L) at Haneda Airport would be extended by 360 meters. Consequently, the takeoff position is situated further south than before, bringing the total Runway length to 3,360 meters. The benefit of the longer Runway is the ability to utilize a higher takeoff weight. In particular, international flights can carry increased fuel, passenger, and cargo loads. Additionally, taking off from a position further out over the sea helps reduce noise pollution on land.

Below is a schematic diagram of takeoff operations during northerly winds, allowing for the simultaneous use of Runway C (RWY 34R) and Runway D (RWY 05). Runway D is 2,500 meters in length, while Runway C is 3,360 meters long. As seen in the diagram above, note the changes in the takeoff position and the right turn point when using RWY 34R.
