Japan Airlines Is Flying Empty Planes
A very telling image has been published by the Daily Mail that shows a solo passenger on an empty flight on April 15th from Tokyo to Los Angeles. The passenger wore a full hazmat suit in fear of the virus despite being the only passenger on board the aircraft.
With fewer passengers flying across the pacific between the two countries, just how empty are these flights?
What are the details?
You would have thought that Japan Airlines flight JL 62 from Tokyo to Los Angeles (NRT-LAX) was a cargo flight or perhaps a very odd aircraft repositioning flight. The only telling sight that the flight was indeed carrying ‘passengers’ was a single patron in the economy cabin dressed in a full hazmat suit.
Simple Flying doesn’t know who the passenger was, nor why they were traveling, but that their purpose must have been important to brave the trans-pacific journey from one coronavirus hotspot to another.
