Russia’s flag carrier Aeroflot has not announced plans to cancel flights to Japan, hit by powerful Typhoon Phanfone, the company said on Monday.
The airliner will arrive in Tokyo from Moscow with a slight delay, and the departure to Russia will be postponed.
More than 620 flights, mostly domestic, have been canceled and traffic has been suspended on the Shinkansen high-speed railways linking the capital Tokyo and Nagoya.
The metro traffic has been also limited.
Japanese authorities have ordered the evacuation of almost 400,000 people in the central part of the country.
Typhoon Phanfone, which means ‘Animal’ in the Laotian language, has hit the main part of Japan’s territory in the area of Hamamatsu, in western Shizuoka Prefecture, and is now heading to the northeast with the wind speed of almost 50 m/s.
The waves in coastal areas reach the height of 11 meters. The typhoon has brought powerful rains to central Japan, including Tokyo, and authorities warn of possible landslides and floods.
