Although JAL had a hard time for the first half of FY2006 because of slow recovery of both domestic and international passenger demands and of high fuel price, Nishimatsu is confident that JAL can recoverthe loss through the second half of FY2006, relying on recovery of passenger demands and fuel surcharges on its international flights.
