New Pneumonia Charter Flight 4 Operation Expected After Mid Week 5:02 on February 2, Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said it will operate a fourth charter aircraft returning from China's Hubei Province later this week.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has operated a total of three charter aircraft and has returned 565 Japanese nationals to Japan, but there are still about 140 returning applicants there.

Some of these people are living in areas remote from Wuhan and have difficulty moving to the airport, while others are spouses who are not allowed to leave the country. It means more coordination with the Chinese side is needed.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made every effort to make the fourth flight available as soon as possible.
