Management’s Review and Analysis of Financial Position
Outlook for Current Term
The operating environment for the JAL Group will remain harsh,
but in air transportation operations, the benefits of the complete business
integration will be felt to the maximum. Also, in international and
domestic passenger as well as cargo operations, the Group will provide
high-value-added products tailored to meet customer needs in each segment,
and ongoing efforts will be made to enhance competitiveness. In addition,
greater emphasis will be placed on the measures to achieve cost reductions
that are already being implemented, with the aim of improving the Group’s
balance of revenue and expenditure. Steps will also be taken to improve
profitability in fields other than air transportation.
The latest forecasts of results for the current fiscal year are as follows, premised on an exchange rate of ¥110 against the U.S. dollar, Singapore Kerosene at a market price of US$34/barrel, and the CIF price of crude oil at US$29/barrel.
