TOKYO -- Japan Airlines (JAL) said Friday that it expects the recovery of international flights to remain at only 45% of their pre-COVID level for this fiscal year, despite the Japanese government's plans to resume accepting foreign tourists.
"I believe that we are now in a phase of strong recovery; there may be some waves, but not as big as last year," said JAL President Yuji Akasaka, who announced on Friday that the company will return to profitability this fiscal year for the first time in three years.
