Jal, Ana Slash International Flight Capacities


JAL, ANA slash international flight capacities

Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways will further slash their international flight capacities amid the growing impact of the coronavirus on air travel.

The two Japanese airlines will continue to try to cope with falling demand in the coming month.

JAL says it will cut the number of flights on all 60 international routes by 4,568, or 94 percent, for the month of May. Its services between Haneda and Sydney and between Haneda and Honolulu will be suspended.

ANA says it will slash flights on 71 international routes, excluding the Narita-Los Angeles service, by 3,323, or 90 percent between April 25 and May 15.

The carriers say they may further curtail their services should the situation worsen.
