On Feb. 29, Japan Airlines Corp unveiled its new medium-term business plan, featuring a capital increase of about 150 billion yen and additional cost-cutting measures to get Asia's largest airline back on track.

Fourteen creditor banks and business allies - major trading houses and oil wholesalers - agreed to funnel the capital into the struggling airline via the purchase of new shares to be issued as part of the fiscal 2008-2010 plan, JAL said.
