Japan weighs allowing in US and European business executives

Limits under consideration include small numbers on short trips by private jet

TOKYO -- Japan is considering easing coronavirus-related travel restrictions by allowing U.S. and European business executives to enter the country as exceptional measures amid the pandemic, Nikkei has learned.

Relaxing the curbs will likely come with rules that would allow only short stays, a limited number of people and travel by non-commercial aircraft, such as private jets, sources said. No time frame has yet been set.
