About reduction / change of flights operated due to new coronavirus infection

Dear customers

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support for our shipping business.

Under the influence of the fifth wave of the spread of new coronavirus infection, "priority measures such as prevention of spread" were expanded to 13 prefectures including Fukuoka prefecture. Due to the widespread refraining from going out and moving, the reservation status in August has decreased significantly, and our route management, which was once on a recovery trend, is facing a tight situation again.

Therefore, as an urgent crisis response to the sudden decrease in demand, we will reduce the number of flights on the Hakata-Iki-Tsushima route Jetfoil and the Intsuji (Iki) -Karatsu route ferry, and change the ship allocation as follows. I want to. In addition, if the reservation status continues to decrease or if the state of emergency is changed, the flight reduction period may be extended.

Record

○ Hakata-Iki-Tsushima route jetfoil (high-speed ship) * Approval pending
Period: August 18th-August 29th (The period may be extended depending on the reservation status)
We will change the normal operation of two vessels to one vessel, which is the same as when dispatching docks.
* Only on August 18, 121 flights will operate from Izuhara 06:45 to Iki (Ashibe) 07:50 and from 07:55 to Hakata 09:00.
