A Japanese airline’s flight from Tokyo to Fukuoka airport was supposed to leave on time, but a last-minute alteration caused the jet to depart late. As a result, the plane missed the commercial flight curfew and was sent back to Tokyo.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When their two-hour flight was delayed to more than seven hours on Sunday because they missed the “deadline” set by the destination airport, more than 300 domestic flight passengers in Japan <\/a><\/strong>experienced a nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally slated to depart Tokyo’s Haneda Airport<\/a><\/strong> at 6:30 pm local time for a two-hour flight to Fukuoka, Japan Airlines Co. flight <\/a><\/strong>JL331’s takeoff was delayed by over 90 minutes owing to a last-minute plane transfer, according to Bloomberg. Because of this, the airline was ordered back after missing the airport’s 10 p.m. commercial plane curfew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an airline statement, the scenario developed despite earlier predictions that the flight would land with 4 minutes to spare.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to Fukuoka airport<\/a><\/strong> officials, they do make exceptions for inclement weather or traffic, allowing late-running planes over the curfew hour, but they told the Asahi Shimbun newspaper that they didn’t view this airline’s delay as “unavoidable.”<\/p>\n\n\n

The airline started back on a circuitous route to Tokyo after missing the 10 p.m. curfew time. According to the Bloomberg story, an early plan to divert the flight to the nearest city of Kitakyushu was considered, but it was abandoned because it proved challenging to get last-minute lodging for the 335 passengers who were traveling onboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
