Narita Airport, a 'deserted island' due to heavy rain; 7,000 people stranded, how did travelers spend their time? 成田空港は21日、台風8号の影響で大雨となり、飛行機が次々と欠航した。日本航空によると、午前10時までに国内線で26便、国際線で18便が欠航した。空港は「陸の孤島」のような状態となり、約7千人が空港内に滞留した。 Narita Airport experienced heavy rain on the 21st due to the effects of Typhoon No. 8, resulting in a series of flight cancellations. According to Japan Airlines, 26 domestic flights and 18 international flights were canceled by 10:00 a.m. The airport was in a state similar to a 'deserted island,' with approximately 7,000 people stranded inside. 滞留した旅行客らは、空港内の飲食店や免税店で買い物をしたり、近くのホテルにチェックインしたりして過ごした。台湾から家族で訪れた人は「雨で電車が動かないと聞いて、空港で1泊する予定です。近くのホテルはどこも満室で、空港で家族で一緒に過ごします」と話した。 The stranded travelers spent their time shopping at restaurants and duty-free shops within the airport, or checking into nearby hotels. A person visiting from Taiwan with their family said, "I heard that the trains aren't moving due to the rain, so I plan to spend the night at the airport. All the nearby hotels are fully booked, so we'll spend time together as a family here at the airport." 空港は22日午前6時から一部を除いて営業を再開し、電車の運転も再開された。 The airport resumed operations at 6:00 a.m. on the 22nd, with some exceptions, and train services also resumed.
