Airlines fly what are called flight routes, and six of these routes pass close to Haneda Airport heading west. Although routes that pass directly over Mt. Fuji unfortunately (Y28) do not afford a view of the mountain, there are three routes to the north (Y884, Y18, Y20) and two routes to the south (Y56, Y58) of Mt. Fuji that do afford views. All routes flying from the west to Haneda Airport fly around the south side of Mt. Fuji and allow passengers to see the mountain from the left side of the plane.
