TOKYO: Tokyo’s Haneda Airport reopened a runway at midnight Sunday that had been closed since Tuesday’s aircraft collision, the Japanese transport ministry said.

The airport’s Runway C was reopened after the wreckage of a Japan Airlines passenger jet and a Japan Coast Guard aircraft, which collided on the runway, was removed.

The collision temporarily shut down all four runways at the airport, leaving 1,453 flights, mainly domestic, canceled as of 4 p.m. Sunday.
