Ask Atlas about Japanese rights.

When PO was acquired by Atlas Air World Wide Holdings, Polar has a bunch of traffic rights for Japan.

The bosses in Purchase landed an Atlas Airplane on a Polar landing right. The Japanese were not amused.

The second time they did that the Japanese impounded the plane for 24hours (shackled the nose gear), told them not to do it again or the 747 would return in shipping containers.

I'm sure the Atlantians are smart enough to negotiate with the Asians and not do that.
