Passenger flights from Beijing, the capital of China, which had been suspended due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, to Narita Airport were resumed on the 11th for the first time in about two years and three months.
Only one way for the time being
ANA has resumed passenger flights from Beijing to Narita once a week from the 11th.
In front of the counter at the airport in Beijing, expatriates of Japanese companies and Chinese students showed the negative proof necessary for entering Japan and completed the boarding procedure.
A representative returning to Japan said, "It would be great if the new corona could fit in and come and go freely. I hope that the number of direct flights will increase steadily."
In addition, a Chinese student said, "It took me a long time to transfer to another city, but it is very convenient because a direct flight flies."
Passenger flights connecting Japan and airports throughout China have been operating except for a period of time after the spread of the new corona infection, but flights to and from the capital Beijing have been suspended since March.
Chinese airlines are scheduled to start operating from the 13th, but all passenger flights from Narita Airport to Beijing will not be approved by the Chinese authorities due to infection control, and will only be one-way for the time being.
Chinese authorities are reviewing border measures such as shortening the period of isolation required for foreign visitors, but tourists will continue to come and go, saying that they will adhere to the "Zero Corona" policy to thoroughly curb infection. It is restricted.
