A charter aircraft for returning American passengers of the Diamond Princess cruise ship, confirmed to have been infected with the new coronavirus, left Haneda Airport on the morning of the 17th.
The U.S. government plans to return those who wish to return to the United States on a cruise ship "Diamond Princess" by charter aircraft.
The two charter aircraft arrived at Haneda Airport on the night of the 16th.
According to the Ministry of Defense, the cruise ship had about 380 U.S. citizens, of whom those wishing to return had boarded the SDF bus to Haneda Airport.
When I arrived at the airport, I was boarding a charter plane.
Prior to departure, it was observed that persons believed to be wearing protective clothing were loading luggage on the charter aircraft and guiding passengers.
The first charter plane departed Haneda Airport for the United States at around 6.45 am on June 17 at 6:30 am on the 17th.
