JAL to cut Chubu-Paris flights in October
Thursday 09th July, 06:24 AM JST
NAGOYA —Japan Airlines plans to cut all flights between Central Japan International Airport and Paris from the end of October as part of its restructuring, sources said Wednesday. Japan’s largest airline has been stepping up measures to reduce money-losing flights nationwide after it inked a deal to receive state-backed emergency loans to turn its business around.
JAL currently operates seven regular flights per week between the airport in Aichi Prefecture and the French capital, but demand for travel has dropped sharply due to the economic downturn and fears about the spread of the new influenza strain. For the April-June period, the routes have been operating at around 60% capacity, JAL said.
