TOKYO (AFP) - Japan's All Nippon Airways Co. (ANA) became the nation's top air carrier in June, dethroning flagship carrier Japan Airlines Corp. (JAL) on passenger volume and cargo, the Nikkei reported Thursday.
ANA's passenger figures for both domestic and international flights in June reached 3.65 million, up 10 percent from a year ago, the business daily said.
JAL, going through a court-led restructuring process after filing for a bankruptcy protection, carried 3.55 million passengers in the month, marking a one-percent decline on-year, according to the Nikkei.
ANA logged 30-percent growth in international travelers, the newspaper said.
Meanwhile, JAL continued to reduce flights and withdrew from unpopular routes. Its domestic passengers fell three percent and international passengers increased just six percent, the newspaper said.
Factors related to its bankruptcy such as its tainted corporate image and the end of shareholder perks apparently drove customers away, the Nikkei said.
The carrier is due to submit a finalised turnaround plan to the Tokyo District Court at the end of this month.
