In South Korea, the number of new coronavirus infections increased by more than 300 to 6,593. Two major Korean airlines have canceled all non-stop flights between Korea and Japan during the announcement of the Japanese government's request that visitors from South Korea wait for two weeks at designated locations. I decided.
The Korean government announced on the afternoon of the 6th that the number of new coronavirus infections increased by 309 to 6,593. The number of dead has so far been 42.
Under these circumstances, Asiana Airlines, among the two major Korean airlines, has announced that the Japanese government has requested that visitors from Korea from September 9 to the end of this month wait two weeks at designated locations. During this time, I decided to cancel all 11 direct flights between Korea and Japan.
Korean Air also plans to discontinue operations on 17 of the 17 non-stop flights connecting Korea and Japan, in addition to the three already suspended flights, and the remaining 14 routes from July 7th to 9th.
However, one line connecting Incheon (Incheon) Airport and Honolulu Airport (Hawaii) via Narita Airport will continue to operate.
