NHK -- Sep 29

The operator of Kansai International Airport in Osaka says it's closing the airport's 2 runways between 11 AM on Sunday and 6 AM on Monday due to an approaching typhoon.

The 19-hour closure is aimed at preventing passengers from being stuck at the airport.

The company is calling on passengers to check the status of their flights on the airline companies' websites.
