THAI adjusts Japan flight times as typhoon nears
Thai Airways International (THAI) announced on Friday (October 11) changes in its flight schedule for four Thailand-Japan routes due to risks posed by Typhoon Hagibis.
“Passengers travelling between October 11 and 13 should keep up to date at thaiairways.com,” said Squadron Leader Anirute Sangrit, THAI mission commander of the Flight Operations Department.
He said the Japan Meteorological Agency expects Hagibis, designated Typhoon No 19, to approach Japan on October 12-13, bringing heavy rain and strong wind that could affect aviation.
Flights to and from Fukuoka and Sapporo will follow their original schedules.
THAI flights TG 622 Bangkok-Osaka on Friday and TG 623 Osaka-Bangkok, TG 672 Bangkok-Osaka and TG 673 Osaka-Bangkok on Saturday are among flights to be rescheduled.
