Tokyo-Narita Ponders Future After Delta's Farewell
Narita International Airport may find it hard to retain its standing as a pan-Asian transport hub after Delta Air Lines Inc. decided to leave.

TIA is locally known as Haneda airport. (www.japantimes.co.jp) 更多...

No - they haven't used it as a hub for several years. They dropped their fifth-freedom flights years before Delta did. In fact, Delta is still operating two of them. Unless you consider UAL's relationship with ANA as a hub factor, but that would mean Frankfurt is a UAL hub as well.
Wow, UA used to have like 10 heavies on the ground at any given point.
What a shame that they're all pulling out.

Delta represents less than 2% of operations at Narita; the claim that "Narita International Airport may find it hard to retain its standing as a pan-Asian transport hub after Delta Air Lines Inc. decided to leave" seems to be a bit of an exaggeration.
That is one way to look at it, certainly. However when you consider that one of the world's largest airlines is leaving the airport completely, that does have reverberations.
United are still using NRT as a hub right?
