Another sign of the decline.  Delta Airlines is looking to get out of offering a non-stop flight to Tokyo.  There are several ways to slice this situation.  Maybe the Japanese don't feel a need to travel to Oregon anymore, as they once did.  Portland's reputation has also reached Asia by now.  This drives the economics of needing to allocate flights to a little-used route.  There's also declining tourist trade to Hawaii from Japan, probably due to inertia from all those COVID restrictions and the ban on temporary vacation rentals, and maybe the Japanese economy.
