Japan Plans to Resume Direct Flights to Russia

Japan plans to resume direct flights to Russia. This was announced by the Russian Embassy. "The inquiries are coming from both local carriers and major companies," the statement read.

It is noteworthy that Japan's main airlines, Japan Airlines (JAL) and All Nippon Airways (ANA), are forced to bypass Russian airspace, which increases the cost of tickets and travel time. Russian airlines are also interested in the resumption of routes, but this requires a political solution from Japan.
