Brother in law’s wife who pilots for a major freight company just got back from her East Asian route: “Several people have asked “what it’s like” to fly over in Asia with the current world situation. I was lucky to only lay over in Narita (Tokyo) this trip, flying down to Shanghai and back during the day. You start feeling sort of like a “hot potato”, because once you’ve hit one country, the next one doesn’t want anything to do with you. China was particularly challenging, and way more challenging for our crews actually staying there vs. passing through. Chinese airspace was so quiet, it truly was eerie. Japan seemed a little more “normal” on the ground...except it’s not. Schools are closed, many public venues are shut down. Annual Sakura celebrations cancelled, tourist attractions such as museums and Disney are closed. I really don’t suggest traveling to Japan or anyplace else over here unless you have to.” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
