To the shareholders and investors, Thank you for your strong support of the JAL Group. The JAL Group’s first quarter results for fiscal year 2009 were significantly lower than the figures announced in the same period last year, primarily due to the weak growth in revenue amid the financial crisis in domestic and international economies, and the worldwide spread of the H1N1 flu. In response, the JAL Group will continue to adjust business scale through a strict review of routes without any exceptions and by downsizing aircraft. We will also rigorously implement cost reduction measures including cost structure reforms and launch various income improvement measures to boost leisure demand which has started on a path to recovery, and thereby improve profitability to the greatest extent possible. As part of the Group’s activities to preserve the global environment, JAL has launched a second JAL Eco Jet - a JAL aircraft with its tailfin painted green instead of the usual red for the purpose of raising environmental awareness. The first Eco Jet was introduced on domestic routes in Japan last summer, while the second Eco Jet will ply international routes starting this summer, operating between Narita and London, Paris, Frankfurt and Seoul. JAL has also become the first carrier in Asia to serve wine in plastic PET bottles onboard its economy class cabin on international routes. By using these recyclable eco-bottles that weigh about one-seventh the weight of glass bottles the same size, it is estimated that we can reduce the amount of CO2 gas emitted by the Group’s entire fleet, by approximately 1500 tons a year. The JAL Group will continue to do its part in reducing its burden on the environment in various aspects of our business activities. We would appreciate the continued support of the shareholders and investors. |
