Disruptions are expected to continue on Sunday as well. Ninety-eight JAL flights and 96 ANA flights have already been canceled.

Meanwhile, the land and transport ministry has said the runway where the fatal accident occurred will reopen on Monday. With the reopening, ANA plans to restore all services, while JAL aims to resume the operations of all but 14 flights.
