Typhoon-damaged Kansai International Airport Partially Reopens
Domestic flights resume as crews continue recovery efforts

Osaka’s Kansai International Airport partially reopened Friday, three days after the strongest typhoon to hit Japan in 25 years created storm surges that almost completely flooded the island facility. The closure forced the cancellation of some 400 flights a day and left some 7,800 passengers stranded until emergency shuttle bus service resumed on September 5.
