Japan lifts recent ban on booking flights to country: Chief Cabinet Secretary

Tokyo, Dec 2 (UNI/Sputnik) The Japanese Transport Ministry has canceled its directive requiring suspension of new flight bookings to the country until late December, initially issued to prevent the spread of the Omicron strain of coronavirus, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said on Thursday.
The transport ministry on Wednesday addressed airlines with a request to suspend bookings of flights to Japan due to the new Omicron coronavirus strain. The measure also affects those Japanese who are abroad and have not booked their return flight yet.
"A demand of returnees, of Japanese nationals, should be served for details, the details will be provided by MLIT [the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism]," Matsuno told a press conference, as quoted by the official web-site of the Japanese government.
