EVA Airways Corp. on Saturday resumed a regular service between Komatsu Airport in Ishikawa Prefecture and Taipei for the first time in about three years.
Previously, the firm had been operating flights five days a week, but the service was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reintroduction of the regular service, with daily flights, has been welcomed by local stakeholders.
Representatives from Ishikawa and Fukui prefectures greeted inbound travelers in the arrival lobby on the day, holding banners to welcome visitors to the region. The Saturday flight arrived at around 10:25 a.m., and the lobby bustled as tourists completed their entry procedures.
