I could speculate that he nuclear crisis was causing this drop off in travel. But there is so much tragedy in Japan right now, there are multiple reasons not to go. Further, there is no way to sort out who isn’t going for what reason.

Nevertheless, this is firm evidence that the crisis continues.

American Airlines cuts flights to Japan as demand falls (from BBC)

American Airlines is reducing the number of flights to Japan as travel demand to the country continues to fall.

The airline said it would suspend two of its six daily flights to Japan from 6 April.

Other international airlines such as Delta and Qantas have also announced a reduction in capacity to Japan.

Travel demand has been falling due to fears of radiation leak after the 11 March earthquake and tsunami.
