Sumo wrestlers are overweight due to their high concentration of flights, so airlines increase temporary flights
According to Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" report, because many sumo wrestlers took Japan Airlines flights to participate in competitions, Japan Airlines had to open an additional flight on October 12 due to overweight issues.

On October 13, the sumo wrestling competition of the Japan Special National Sports Festival was held in Amami Oshima, Kagoshima Prefecture. On the 12th, dozens of "heavyweight" sumo wrestlers gathered on the Japan Airlines flight from Tokyo Haneda to Amami Oshima. The aircraft type operated by this flight is a Boeing 737. It is estimated that the average weight of a sumo wrestler is about 120 kilograms. Due to flight weight restrictions, it may not be able to carry enough fuel. Amami Oshima Airport cannot handle large aircraft. Therefore, JAL had to apply for an additional flight originating from Tokyo Haneda.
27 sumo wrestlers were spread out on additional flights.
It is reported that 460 sumo wrestlers participated in the Amami Oshima competition this time. These "heavyweight" players prompted many Japanese airlines to add temporary flights or replace them with larger models.
