Overview

• Japan Airlines said the pay cuts cover all directors and all executive officers, an unusually broad scope that includes outside directors and chairman Yuji Akasaka.
• President Mitsuko Tottori will take a 30% reduction for two months; safety chief Yukio Nakagawa and operations head Masaki Minami will each take 20% for one month; all others will take 10% for one month.
• The action follows an Aug. 28 incident in Hawaii in which a captain drank the day before duty, became ill, and could not operate as scheduled.
• Three flights, including international services, were delayed by up to about 18.5 hours, according to MLIT and the airline.
• JAL plans to compile new recurrence-prevention measures within September, noting earlier controls such as a layover drinking ban and a watch list that had categorized the captain at a lower risk level.
