Japan suspends airmail

The suspension comes with reduced air travel to and from Japan and mainly includes EMS and parcel-post/letter-post items.  

Also included in the temporary suspension, which began on April 2, are 86 countries which are provided with SAL services.   

Items which have already been accepted and cannot be dispatched to their destinations will be returned from the delivery offices to the senders in order. In addition, because of the global reduction of flights, considerable delivery delays are expected for outbound mail items to other countries/territories.
