Naha Airport in Okinawa was completely closed on June 1, 2026, in response to the approach of Typhoon Jangmi. The typhoon brought intense rainfall and strong winds, prompting authorities to suspend airport operations as a safety measure.

Alongside the airport closure, numerous flights connecting Taiwan and Okinawa were canceled. Airlines have issued urgent advisories to passengers, encouraging travelers to stay informed and to take necessary precautions given the adverse weather conditions during East Asia’s peak typhoon season.
