Struggling Japan Airlines Corp. is considering cancelling services at seven domestic airports, including Kobe, Shizuoka and Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture, over three years through the end of fiscal 2011, sources said Wednesday.
As part of its business improvement plan, to be finalized as early as October, the airline will discontinue or downsize services on several domestic and international routes.
Of the seven airports, JAL's affiliate Ryukyu Air Commuter Co. withdrew from Aguni in Okinawa Prefecture in June.
The carrier also plans to effectively withdraw from Okadama and Okushiri airports in Hokkaido by decreasing its stake in Hokkaido Air System Co., which serves the terminals, from 51 percent to about 15 percent.
