On February 6, the JAL Group announced the medium-term corporate business plan for the four years FY2007 to March 2011, emphasizing the pursuit of safety and the customers' standpoint, rebuilding the group's business foundation, and realizing continuous stable profits.

While securing high levels of safety that are the foundation of the company, JAL will carry out business restructuring through aircraft downsizing and shifting to high profit routes. JAL will strengthen product competitiveness through for example, the introduction of First Class on domestic flights, and Premium Economy Class on international flights. Thereby the airline will make maximum opportunity of the business changes that will result from the internationalization and expansion of Tokyo's Haneda Airport from and after FY2009, and increase of airport slot capacity at Narita. JAL will also implement large scale cost reductions through personnel reductions and other measures and concentrate resources to the core air transport business segment in order to achieve sustainable growth.

The JAL Group will consolidate efforts to maintain flight safety on a daily basis, and provide safety and comfort to customers in order to regain the trust of all stakeholders.

The Medium Term Corporate Plan focuses on the following 5 points:

1. Further Improvement of Safety Standards

While continuing to realize the recommendations of the Safety Advisory Group, an external panel of advisors, we will strengthen the safety management system and the measures taken for Human Factor monitoring in order to maintain and improve high quality flight operations and aircraft.

2. Improving Profitability via Cost Reductions

JAL plans a bold review of the work process to increase workforce productivity by 10% and reduce the 53,100 employees on a consolidated basis at the end of FY2006 to 48,800 employees by the end of FY2009, a reduction of 4,300 persons (including reduction of 3,500 employees through increase of productivity by 10%).

While maintaining the 10% reduction of basic salaries introduced in April 2006, the Group will implement a special early retirement program revise retirement benefit-related systems, implement a bold review of allowances and bonuses and take other large scale personnel cost reduction measures.
