Japan Airlines Tests Humanoid Robots at Haneda Airport to Address Labor Shortages

Japan Airlines has begun testing humanoid robots for ground operations at Tokyo's Haneda Airport to address chronic labor shortages. Partnering with GMO AI & Robotics, the airline will trial robots for baggage loading and cabin cleaning starting in May, with full deployment targeted by 2028. The initiative comes as Japan's aviation sector faces rising tourism demand and a shrinking workforce driven by an aging population. Japan's working-age population is projected to decline 31% by 2060.

Japan Airlines Tests Humanoid Robots as Baggage Handlers at Tokyo's Haneda Airport

Japan Airlines will launch a pilot program in May 2026 testing humanoid robots as baggage handlers and cargo loaders at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, addressing a worsening labor shortage. The three-year trial, run with GMO AI & Robotics Corporation, will test Unitree G1 and Walker E robots from Chinese manufacturers. Japanese airports have struggled significantly—Narita Airport in December 2023 couldn't respond to over 30% of weekly flight requests due to staff shortages, and ground crew numbers dropped from 26,300 to 23,700 between 2019 and 2023.
