About 100 flights flying into and out of Tokyo’s Haneda Airport are expected to be cancelled today as a result of an airplane collision on the runway on Jan 2 afternoon.
The accident between a Japan Airlines (JAL) passenger jet arriving from Hokkaido and a Japan Coast Guard aircraft left five coast guards dead and the JAL aircraft in raging flames. All 379 passengers onboard the JAL jet were able to escape to safety.
The flight cancellations are expected to affect 19,000 passengers, said an NHK report.
Central Japan Railway Company will provide additional bullet train services on Wednesday to support affected domestic connections.
