Departures from Narita Airport Fall to 2% of the same period last year New Corona April 28 17:12

Due to the effect of the new coronavirus, the number of people departing from Narita Airport overseas from April 1 to 25 has decreased significantly, and it has dropped to just 2% of the same period last year at the airport. I understand from the company summary.

According to the Narita Airport company, the number of people departing from Japan using Narita Airport between April 1 and 25 was about 20,000.

This was a significant decrease, just 1.7% of the approximately 1,156,000 people who left Japan during the same period last year.

At Narita Airport, the number of departures and arrivals per day exceeded 60,000 for the first time since the opening of the port, partly because of the 10 consecutive holidays last year.

For the large holidays this year, the airport company canceled the forecast because it was difficult to calculate.

With the number of users drastically decreasing, at Narita Airport, we are closing some runways and terminal buildings to reduce lighting, security and cleaning costs by nearly 1 billion yen a month. The management of the stores that are moving in is becoming increasingly difficult.

Given this situation, the airport company voluntarily returned 10% to 20% of executive compensation for 3 months and decided to reduce 5% of the basic salary of managers for 3 months.

At the press conference, Akihiko Tamura said, "I would like to continue considering support for the related companies so that they will not go out of business or significantly reduce the number of employees."
