NEW JAL FLIGHT ROUTE MARKS COMEBACK JAL路線開設制限が終了

Officials at Japan Airlines are celebrating the launch of a new service. The route connects Tokyo's Haneda Airport with John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. The inauguration is being seen as a sign that the flag carrier has made a comeback after filing for bankruptcy.
The launch comes after a series of restrictions that were imposed by the transport ministry were lifted. Over the past five years, ministry officials have limited the carrier's network to ensure fairness. This was in light of a three-billion-dollar government bailout JAL received after filing for bankruptcy seven years ago.
The airline will now be allowed more freedom to launch new routes. The move is expected to encourage competition in the industry.
