Narita International Airport (NRT) is tracked here against a compact set of 8 destinations, and every one of them is international — there's no domestic route in this particular reference. All 8 sit in South Asia: Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, ranging from a 5.8-hour hop to Dhaka up to an 8.2-hour run to Karachi. Of those 8, 3 — Delhi, Mumbai, and Colombo — carry a verified historical direct-service record; the other 5 do not.
The pattern here reads as plausible rather than surprising: Delhi, Mumbai, and Colombo are the more established, higher-frequency long-haul markets on this list, served historically by combinations of Air India, All Nippon Airways, Japan Airlines, Jet Airways, and SriLankan Airlines, while Dhaka, Kathmandu, Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad are thinner markets more likely flown by codeshare or connection than tracked as a standalone nonstop in OpenFlights' historical route data. This is a narrow slice of Narita's real network, limited to South Asia; it says nothing about Narita's domestic Japanese routes or its far larger Asia-Pacific and North American long-haul network, which simply aren't part of this tracked set.
All 8 of Narita's tracked pairs are medium- or long-haul international routes to South Asia, and the three verified ones — Delhi, Mumbai, and Colombo — are also the shortest three by flight time, 7.0 to 8.1 hours, which lines up with them being the more established markets among the eight tracked here.

Three of Narita's 8 tracked connections carry a verified historical operating record — Delhi, Mumbai, and Colombo — making them the routes to check first if a client needs confirmed precedent for direct service. The other five, Dhaka, Kathmandu, Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi, show no verified nonstop record in this dataset.
OpenFlights' historical route dataset records 3 carriers operating this city pair, flying Boeing 767-300, Boeing 777, Boeing 787-8. It's the best-served pair in Tokyo's whole tracked network — still confirm current-day operation and schedule in your GDS before quoting, since this dataset reflects historical service, not a live timetable.

UL SriLankan AirlinesChecking availability from Narita uses NRT as the origin code across Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo, and Apollo; that stays constant whether you're pricing the run to Delhi or the longer haul out to Karachi.

Replace xxx with the destination's own 3-letter IATA code from the tables above — the availability-check syntax itself doesn't change by destination, only the city pair does.
