The Civil Aviation Administration of China has said it will dispatch a chartered flight Friday night to pick up around 350 Wuhan tourists stranded in Japan's Tokyo and nearby areas.

This will be the third special flight following the other two that have brought back Chinese tourists in Thailand and Malaysia earlier on Friday.

The flight, operated by Spring Airlines, will depart from Shanghai on Friday night and travel to Tokyo International Airport.

It is expected to land in Wuhan Tianhe International Airport at 5:50 a.m. on Saturday.
