OSAKA -- Kansai Airport resumed domestic flight operations on Friday after a three-day suspension in the wake of Typhoon No. 21. A total of 19 flights are to arrive and depart using Runway B, which was damaged only slightly, and the Terminal 2 Building.
Yoshiyuki Yamaya, president of airport operating company Kansai Airports, stated on Friday that the company intends to resume some international flights to and from the airport on Saturday.
Regarding Runway A and the Terminal 1 Building, which are still closed, he said that the company "wants to reopen [them] within a week."
Shortly before noon on Friday, the first flight in three days, an aircraft of the low-cost carrier Peach Aviation, departed the airport bound for Niigata.
According to the Kansai Airports company, the number of services provided at the airport on Friday were to be 17 Peach flights, either taking off or landing, and two Japan Airlines flights, one to and the other from Haneda Airport. The number accounts for a little less than 10 percent of the normal daily total number of flights to and from the airport, including international flights.
