All international flights at Shizuoka Airport in Japan were cancelled.

Affected by the epidemic, Japan has now become one of the regions with more serious epidemics. Meanwhile, in order to control the spread of the virus, Japan stopped issuing visas to China and South Korea, and suspended all national flights at Shizuoka Airport. It is reported that such a large-scale grounding is the first time since the establishment of the airport.

The cancellation of international flights was affected by the epidemic, and all international flights at Shizuoka Airport were suspended. This is the first time since the airport was opened in 2009. Airport officials said that it is not clear when the return flight will take place.

The Japanese government stipulates that before the end of March, international flights arriving from China and South Korea can only land at Narita Airport and Kansai International Airport. To this end, Shizuoka Airport cancelled the flights between Jeju Airlines and Seoul, and eight of them also cancelled all flights to and from China. The relevant staff of Shizuoka Airport said that most Korean tourists went to Shizuoka for sightseeing, and the Seoul route operated by Jeju Airlines still had a certain number of passengers in February. In addition, some China routes scheduled to resume service after the end of March were also postponed. It is expected that the restrictions implemented this time will have a far-reaching impact on the airport.

Shizuoka Airport Introduction It is reported that a major feature of Shizuoka Airport is to attract non-flight tourists to experience food and shopping. Affected by the epidemic, the number of guests has been greatly reduced. Employees in the store said that due to the restrictions on the number of people entering and leaving the food court and specialty stores, the turnover of 1 month has dropped by 50% compared with last year, and the business prospects are worrying. Airport officials said that the event could not be held as fewer tourists came to visit and experience. If the expansion of the epidemic leads to a continuous decrease in people's travel, it will inevitably hit the normal operation of the domestic line of the airport.

Japan stopped issuing visas to China and South Korea. In order to prevent the spread of new pneumonia, the Japanese government announced that it would suspend the validity of single and multiple visas issued by China and South Korea from March 9 to the end of March.
