Narita Airport Company has officially announced that it will provide exceptional support to more than 400 airport-related companies, as the number of airport users has dropped significantly due to the impact of the new coronavirus. On the other hand, airport companies themselves have a policy of seeking assistance from the government on the possibility that funding may become severe.

Due to the effects of the new coronavirus, the number of aircraft arrivals and departures at Narita Airport decreased from January 1 to 21 this month to 66% of the same period last year, and only 27% of passengers left Japan.

It also means that they are considering delays in paying landing fees from airlines.

The support is expected to reach an unusual scale of more than 400 airport-related companies, with a total support of around ¥ 10 billion.

On the other hand, in the future, airport companies themselves will have a possibility of affecting cash flow, etc., and will seek assistance from the government.

"We have decided to provide urgent support in light of the serious situation of companies related to the airport, but the management of the airport company itself is becoming more severe. We would like to work on reducing costs and request support from the government. "
