This flight was serviced by a shared business aircraft from Japan Air Commuter (JAC) with an ATR42-600 model aircraft (registration: JA01JC), in place of a regular company aircraft undergoing inspection. After being struck by lightning, the plane returned to Amakusa and was subsequently canceled. All flights since have been canceled.
Maintenance is expected to take time, and there is currently no prospect for resuming operations. A total of 188 flights have been canceled. Passengers with reservations will be offered full refunds and information about alternative transportation.
