While low-cost carriers have since long been successfully operating throughout the U.S., Europe, and southern Asia, Japan has seen very little of the low-price action.
this story is inaccurate…the curfew is not to be lifted on Monday…it is going to be “reviewed” on Monday.
It may be time for the US Military to leave Okinawa. Let the Chinese protect Okinawa instead.
