Airport World has posted an interesting article on the state of aviation following the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake.

The article begins with:

Geoff Tudor looks at how the Japanese aviation market is faring ten months on from the country’s devastating March earthquake and tsunami.

It then compliments the Japanese on how they handled the crisis:

Few countries in the world could have coped with such devastation so well or with such calm dignity as Japan, which in a typical Japanese way, has set about repairing the damage with the minimum of fuss.

The article includes two photos of Sendai Airport. The first taken immediately after the tsunami hit and the second after it was cleaned up on August 24.

From there, the article describes how the disaster affected travel, inbound and outbound, and the efforts the Japanese tourism industry has taken and needs to take.

The article is worth a read if you're interested in visiting Japan.
