On February 21, the Japan Airlines Group announced changes to the boards of directors and executive officers of Japan Airlines Corporation (the JAL Group holding company) and Japan Airlines International, the Group's main operating airline.

The changes announced on Feb. 21 are effective from April 1, although some of them are subject to the approval of the annual general meeting of shareholders in late June when proposed new board members announced on Feb. 21 can be formally elected. New executive officers do not have board voting rights and their appointments do not require shareholder approval.

Haruka Nishimatsu remains as President and CEO of the JAL Corporation and JAL International. Toshiyuki Shinmachi stays as chairman of both companies. A new senior appointment is the promotion of Katsuhiko Nawano to the post of executive vice president of both JAL Corporation and JAL International from managing director, cabin attendants division. He will have representative power and in his new post will act as deputy to Mr. Nishimatsu.

This announcement covers 14 board members* and executive officers who are retiring on March 31, and 15 new appointments of executive officers.(*Includes an external board member who passed away last year.)

Among the new executive officers appointed effective April 1 is Ms. Yoriko Nagata, who will be deputy general manager of cabin crew. Ms. Nagata is JAL's first female executive officer appointee.

To further enhance service quality, such as on-time performance, comfort and convenience, while further
increasing safety standards, JAL is establishing a new Customer Satisfaction Promotion Division directly under the President, parallel to the Corporate Safety Division which was established in FY2006. This new division will be headed by a board member acting as General Manager and Senior Vice President.

JAL will also strengthen sales to corporate clients with an improved sales organization to maximize revenue under a new board member.

Overall the number of full-time board members will go down from 15 to 13. Also, by promoting generation change, and slimmer and younger organization, JAL's top management aims to establish a system to respond faster to firmly promote reform.

External board members and external corporate auditors will be increased by one each and will be announced later.

Another change affecting the JAL board will be the discontinuing of individual offices for individual board members at JAL's Tokyo Head Office. Senior vice presidents and above, including the President, will work in the same open-plan office. The purpose is to improve information sharing among board members, promote speedy management decision-making and create an open climate.
