Japan Airlines further reduces flight schedules

*Travel News Asia*	*22 April 2003*

Japan Airlines Group has decided on further temporary schedule changes during May on certain routes due it says to a fall in demand attributed to the Iraq situation and the SARS outbreak.

The changes include (1) reductions of frequency, and (2) temporary suspension. The changes are based on the airline's original summer schedule plan and are in addition to previous changes announced on March 13, March 26 and April 8.
