Japan Airlines has decided on
select temporary schedule changes for limited periods due to a fall in demand
it says is attributed to the war in Iraq.
The changes include (1) reductions of frequency, (2) flight consolidation and
(3) temporary suspension. The changes are based on the airline's summer schedule and are in addition to service changes announced on March 13.
The changes also include code share flights with other airlines.
(1) Frequency reductions: Period including April 1 2003 - May 6
