Flights being diverted to NRT, NGO and KIX or in some cases some domestics are returning to point of origin.
If it was an incident on the runway with a Coast Guard aircraft, what was going on with the tower? Wouldn't they know?
Time to check the audio.
I have been seeing all these posts about the A321XLR and started to wonder if JL or NH or some of the Japanese LCCs will explore it.

I am curious what the breakdown of passenger numbers would be per US carrier?
Number of Passengers from China, Korea, Japan on Delta, AA and United (non-Codeshare)
I know Delta carried 1,711,927 passengers in Asia but what does that breakdown to?
But, there is a dark side to Delta's "spirit". One can see a portion of it here on this website. Say something against Delta and a bunch jump all over you. I often wonder if they even read the critique. They are so sure that Delta is "the best" they won't even entertain the noti...
