JAL slashes 85 percent of international flights

Japan Airlines is making additional cuts to its flight schedules for this month.

The carrier announced it will trim about 85% of international services until April 30, 2020.

It had already said it was reducing schedules by 77%.

"The company sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience but would like to ask for our customers’ understanding during this unprecedented time," the airline said.

JAL will continue flying key long haul routes to North America and Europe but with much reduced frequencies.

This includes Chicago, Boston, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Frankfurt.

It will also continue flights to Sydney and Melbourne.

JAL said it will operate special charter flights between Tokyo and Seoul throughout April, pending regulatory approval.
