Kumamoto Airport Resumes Operations of Arriving Flights On April 19

Kumamoto Airport, with its terminal buildings were damaged by previous earthquakes, has resumed flight services from today, for only fewer arriving flights from Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya.

All of departing flights from the airport are still cancelled as baggage security check cannot be performed inside the damaged buildings.

The airport is closer to the epicenter of the first major earthquake of April 14 and severely damaged including collapse of the ceiling inside the building.

Kumamoto and Oita region are  still under the pressure of continuing earthquakes numbered over 500 since the previous week and over 100,000 residents are accommodated inside refugee camps.
