JAL to resume normal service on China and other routes

JAL Group, which includes airlines Japan Airlines, Japan Air System and JALways, today announced revised schedules on some China, Asia and Pacific resort routes, returning some routes to service levels originally set for the summer before falling demand resulting from the Iraq war and the SARS outbreak forced flight cuts.

JAL is restoring flights to Beijing from Tokyo and Osaka to normal seasonal levels from mid July and from Nagoya to Beijing and Shanghai from August 1st.

Other routes where flights are being resumed for the summer holiday season include flights to Guam from Tokyo and Nagoya and from Japan to other cities in South East Asia and Korea.

On June 1 JAL opened customer call centers in three key Chinese cities, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong providing reservations and other information services in Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese and English.

JAL is also actively promoting tourism to China with a 'JAL NEW CHINA' campaign, targeting younger Japanese travelers.
