This is partly misleading and partly out of date: Welcome Suicas have been available at the airport throughput, and regular Suicas are available again at major JR East stations.
Thanks for the additional info. I didn’t intend to mislead; the quoted passages are straight off the Suica and PASMO websites, so they are only outdated insofar as those websites are outdated.
