Flight cancellations further intensified today as 1,038 flight delays and 176 cancellations were recorded across Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Tokyo Haneda emerged as the hardest-hit airport with 217 delays and 33 cancellations, while All Nippon recorded the highest number of delays overall and Japan Transocean Air Co. suffered the highest number of cancellations. Other heavily affected airlines included Japan Airlines, AirAsia, Malindo Air, Cebu Pacific Air, ANA Wings, Malaysia Airlines, and Singapore Airlines. Airports including Tokyo Haneda, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore Changi, Manila, Naha, New Chitose, Narita, Fukuoka, and Kansai all experienced significant disruption after Typhoon Bavi swept through parts of Japan.

• Kuala Lumpur reported 215 delays, the second-highest total among all affected airports.
• Singapore Changi recorded 134 delays and 15 cancellations.
• Naha continued to struggle with 94 delays and 31 cancellations.
• Typhoon Bavi brought destructive winds and torrential rain that disrupted airport and airline operations across parts of East Asia.

What Travelers Should Expect Over the Next 24 Hours

Passengers should be prepared for continued operational adjustments even after the worst weather passes.
Flights that are not cancelled may still depart late while airlines recover from earlier disruptions, particularly through Tokyo Haneda, Naha, Narita, and other impacted Japanese airports.
Travelers with connecting flights face a greater risk of missed onward services if incoming aircraft arrive behind schedule. Airlines are also likely to prioritize passenger rebooking, aircraft repositioning and crew scheduling before returning to normal operations.
Authorities have warned that Typhoon Bavi brought damaging winds, heavy rainfall, flooding and landslide risks to parts of Japan, while its wider impacts have disrupted travel across East Asia.
Checking airline notifications and airport updates before heading to the terminal remains the best way to avoid unnecessary delays.

Worst-Hit Airports

Tokyo Haneda

Tokyo Haneda experienced the region’s worst disruption today, June 12, with 217 delayed flights and 33 cancellations. Domestic services were particularly affected as strong winds and operational restrictions slowed aircraft movements throughout the day.

Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur reported 215 delays and 7 cancellations, making it the second-most disrupted airport. Delays affected numerous regional services operated by major Malaysian and low-cost carriers.

Singapore Changi

Singapore Changi recorded 134 delays and 15 cancellations. Flights operated by several Asian and international airlines were affected as schedules became increasingly difficult to maintain.

Manila

Manila handled 130 delays and 5 cancellations. Carriers including Philippine Air Lines, Cebu Pacific Air and PAL Express experienced notable operational disruptions.

Naha

Located in Okinawa, Naha remained directly exposed to Typhoon Bavi, recording 94 delays and 31 cancellations. The airport was among the worst affected as severe weather passed through southern Japan.

Narita

Narita registered 73 delays and 22 cancellations, disrupting both domestic and international services as airlines adjusted operations in response to the weather.

Why This Disruption Matters for Travelers Throughout Asia

Today’s flight disruption is likely to extend far beyond the airports directly affected by Typhoon Bavi. Modern airline networks rely on tightly coordinated aircraft rotations, meaning a delayed aircraft departing Tokyo Haneda, Naha, or Narita can trigger knock-on delays for later flights to Hong Kong, Incheon, Jakarta, and other destinations. Airlines including All Nippon, Japan Airlines, AirAsia, Malindo Air, Cebu Pacific Air, and Singapore Airlines may continue adjusting schedules as aircraft and crews are repositioned after the storm. Even if weather conditions improve, recovery often takes time because airlines must restore aircraft availability and reconnect disrupted schedules across multiple countries. Travelers with connecting itineraries should therefore continue checking their flight status throughout the day, not just before leaving for the airport.

How Typhoon Bavi Triggered Widespread Flight Cancellations Across Asia

Typhoon Bavi churned through the East China Sea, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to Japan’s southern islands. Packing winds exceeding 200 km/h, Bavi struck Japan’s southern island prefecture of Okinawa on the morning of July 11, disrupting airport operations and forcing airlines to cancel or delay hundreds of flights.
The powerful storm prompted the Japan Meteorological Agency to issue warnings for flooding and landslides while airlines adjusted schedules to prioritize passenger and crew safety. Airports across Okinawa and other parts of Japan experienced operational restrictions, and the disruption gradually spread to connecting flights throughout East Asia. After crossing the region, Bavi made landfall in China’s eastern Zhejiang province late Saturday night, where authorities had evacuated more than 1.7 million residents and raised high level of emergency preparedness ahead of the storm. Chinese state media said the typhoon was expected to gradually weaken after landfall, but its impact has already disrupted aviation and travel across several countries in East and Southeast Asia.

Airlines Disrupted by Flight Cancellations

Japan Transocean Air Co.

Japan Transocean Air Co. recorded the highest number of cancellations with 29 flights cancelled, while also reporting 15 delayed flights across multiple Japanese airports, particularly Okinawa.

China Eastern

China Eastern cancelled 25 flights across Kansai, Fukuoka, Narita, Haneda, Manila, and Singapore.

ANA Wings

ANA Wings cancelled 23 flights and recorded 49 delays, making it one of the carriers most heavily impacted by the deteriorating weather.

Skymark

Skymark cancelled 11 flights while logging 38 delays, particularly affecting operations at Naha, Haneda and New Chitose.

All Nippon

All Nippon experienced 145 delayed flights, the highest delay total among all airlines, alongside 7 cancellations, reflecting widespread operational pressure across Japan.

Japan Airlines

Japan Airlines cancelled 4 flights but accumulated 111 delays, the second-highest delay count among all airlines, as flights across Japan encountered extensive scheduling challenges.

AirAsia

AirAsia recorded 59 delayed flights across Kuala Lumpur and Singapore Changi, making it one of the region’s most disrupted carriers as schedules were affected by knock-on operational delays.

Broader Overview of Flight Cancellations Today

The disruption extended well beyond southern Japan as airline networks across Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines struggled to recover from weather-related delays. Tokyo Haneda, Naha, Narita, and Fukuoka remained among the busiest hotspots for operational disruption, while Kuala Lumpur, Singapore Changi, and Manila also recorded substantial numbers of delayed and cancelled flights because aircraft and crews were displaced across regional networks.
Major airlines including All Nippon, Japan Airlines, AirAsia, Malindo Air, Cebu Pacific Air, ANA Wings, China Eastern, and Singapore Airlines all experienced operational pressure as aircraft rotations fell behind schedule. Even airports outside Japan, such as Kuala Lumpur, Singapore Changi, and Manila, felt the knock-on effects as flights arriving from or departing to Japan encountered delays.
Although weather conditions are expected to improve after the storm moves away, airlines may continue working through aircraft repositioning, crew scheduling challenges and passenger rebooking for some time. Travelers flying through Tokyo Haneda, Naha, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore Changi, Manila, Narita, and other major hubs should continue checking for the latest updates before beginning their journeys.
