Proposed headline:
Typhoon Dujuan Threatens Tokyo Flights: ANA Issues Waivers for Haneda and Narita as Storm Approaches Japan
Typhoon Dujuan is approaching Japan’s Kanto region, with the strongest impact currently expected from the afternoon through the night of Monday, September 21, 2026. The storm is now significant enough that airlines are preparing for potential cancellations, diversions and delays at Tokyo’s two main international gateways.
Why it matters to travelers: ANA has activated fee-free flight changes and refunds for all affected ANA departures and arrivals at Haneda Airport and Narita International Airport from 12:00 on September 20 through the final flights on September 21. The waiver also covers Hachijojima and, on September 21, Shizuoka.
Japan Airlines has separately warned that Haneda flights on September 21 could face delays, cancellations or diversions depending on the typhoon’s track. JAL is allowing eligible passengers to change or refund affected tickets even before a cancellation is formally confirmed.
The disruption could extend beyond aviation: planned rail suspensions have already been announced in parts of Chiba Prefecture, while additional transport disruption is possible across the Tokyo metropolitan region as the typhoon approaches.
Latest airline information: September 19–20, 2026
Main risk period: September 20–21, with the strongest Tokyo-area impact expected September 21
Current status: Flights have not been universally cancelled, but airline waivers are active and significant disruption is possible.
