Uber Japan Launches Flight-Linked Reservation Feature for Airport Transfers

Uber Japan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter 'Uber Japan') announced on Monday, April 27, 2026, the launch of a flight-linked airport reservation feature at six major domestic airports: Haneda Airport, Itami Airport, Central Japan International Airport, New Chitose Airport, Naha Airport, and Kobe Airport. With this feature, users simply need to input their flight information and desired pickup time when booking an airport transfer. The Uber app system automatically retrieves and reflects the actual departure and arrival times. This ensures that customers can be picked up at the optimal time, even if flight delays or early arrivals occur. This feature has been phased in at select airports and became available at New Chitose Airport earlier in April. In recent years, airport usage in Japan has been on an upward trend due to the recovery and expansion of inbound demand. However, securing transportation after arriving at the airport—often with heavy luggage or in a hurry—remains a concern for many travelers. In particular, coordinating timing due to flight changes was a significant challenge. Uber confirmed a high demand for advanced reservations for airport trips. With the introduction of this feature, customers at high-traffic airports can board their vehicles at the perfect timing without waiting. Against this backdrop, Uber Japan is expanding the airport transfer experience already provided in the US and globally to Japan. By evolving the reservation function, which already sees high usage for airport travel, Uber aims to realize a more seamless and comfortable mobility experience. During high-demand periods like Golden Week, this feature will support smooth and reliable travel unaffected by flight fluctuations. To commemorate the launch, a promotion is available for use at the applicable airports. By entering the promotion code [JPRAPURADO26], users can receive 700 yen off their Uber Taxi ride (also applicable to Uber Premium at Haneda Airport).
