The article first reported that while travel to Japan is one of the popular vacation choices for Taiwanese people, Ibaraki Airport will face an unfortunate situation in August, becoming "zero international flights" and shrinking to domestic flights only.

Citing a report by Ibaraki Shimbun, it was reported that following the suspension of flights to Taiwan in October last year and flights to Shanghai, China, in November, due to the soaring fuel prices in the context of the Middle East situation, both Aerok's (a South Korean low-cost carrier, LCC) flights to Cheongju and Incheon in South Korea will also be suspended throughout August, resulting in zero international flights.

According to the article, Aerok's Incheon flights are currently operating twice a week but will be suspended from August 3. The Cheongju flights, which were temporarily suspended until July, will extend their suspension until August and are scheduled to resume operations from September. A representative from the Prefectural Airport Promotion Division said, "It's regrettable, but given the situation in the Middle East, there are some unavoidable aspects. We will continue to communicate and call for an early resumption of flights." (Translation/Editing by Yanagawa)
