Hongkongers Stranded After Storm Disrupts Trains and Roads to Narita Airport A record rainstorm that slammed into Tokyo earlier this week exposed the fragile underbelly of Japan's transportation infrastructure.
The storm's disruption to trains and roads leading to Narita Airport left thousands of Hong Kong tourists stranded, some spending the night on halted trains or at the airport.
Cathay Pacific's decision to waive rebooking and rerouting fees for affected passengers is a welcome gesture, but it does little to address systemic issues plaguing Japan's transportation network.
