JAL group operating profit tumbles 48.3% on flight troubles, cos

TOKYO, Japan - Japan Airlines Corp. President Haruka Nishimatsu speaks at a press conference at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on Nov. 8. He said the company's consolidated operating profit plunged 48.3 percent year on year in the April-September period to 8.16 billion yen due to soaring fuel costs and flight troubles that turned away many prospective customers. The nation's top air carrier, however, managed to secure a group net profit of 1.51 billion yen, a turnaround from a loss of 12.04 billion yen a year earlier, by unloading its shareholdings. (Kyodo)
