The operator of the Kansai International Airport in western Japan says a budget carrier based in the airport will fly 12 international flights on Saturday. These will be the first international flights from the airport since a typhoon hit the facility.
The move follows the partial resumption of domestic flights on Friday. The airport, on a man-made island in Osaka Prefecture, has been forced to shut down since September 4th. This is due to flooding on one of its runways and the crash of a fuel tanker into a bridge that links the airport and the mainland.
The operator, Kansai Airports, has started using runway B and Terminal Two to resume part of the airport’s operation.
