Emirates Opens Grand “Emirates Travel Store” in Osaka
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force will conduct an exhibition flight by the acrobatic team “Blue Impulse” around the Osaka/Kansai Expo site today, July 12.
Blue Impulse will take off from Kansai International Airport around 2:40 PM, fly over southern Osaka Prefecture, Osaka Castle, Tower of the Sun, and Hirakata Park, and perform their routine from 3:00 to 3:15 PM around Yumeshima. Blue Impulse also performed at the 1970 Osaka Expo, drawing the letters “EXPO’70”.
Some domestic airlines have indicated that there may be delays in flight operations due to the exhibition flight. Additionally, the Hanshin Expressway will close the parking areas (PA) of the Hanshin Expressway Wangan Line and Osaka Port Line simultaneously.
Although it was originally scheduled for the opening day of the Osaka/Kansai Expo on April 13, the event was canceled due to bad weather. Another performance is planned for tomorrow, July 13.
