- Outline of Operating Results
The business environment of this fiscal year (from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026) was that the world's major economies, including Japan and the United States, generally sustained moderate growth amid the world's geopolitical instability. In light of this economic situation, International Passenger sales have progressed steadily with a strong growth in the number of passengers because of the continuing strong inbound demand and a recovery trend of the outbound business demand exceeding our initial expectations. Domestic Passenger sales have also been solid due to significant increase in the passenger numbers compared to the previous year as a result of our efforts to simulate demand. For expenses, the JAL Group suppressed the increase in costs with effort to reduce overall costs amid the recent depreciation of the Japanese Yen.
As a result, our earnings before interest and taxes (hereinafter referred to as “EBIT”) exceeded both our plan and the previous year’s level.
- Outline of Operating Results for the Current Fiscal Year
The revenue increased by 9.1% year on year to 2,012.5 billion yen, the operating expense increased by 8.3% year on year to 1,834.0 billion yen, the earning before financing and income tax (hereinafter referred as “EBIT”) was a gain of 218.0 billion yen (up 26.4% year on year). The profit attributable to owners of the parent was 137.6 billion yen (up 28.6% year on year).
Consolidated financial results are as follows.

The JAL Group has driven the restructuring of our business portfolio after the company’s experience with the COVID pandemic. We worked on promoting business model reform to create new business models especially in the non-aviation business domain and increase the Group profitability. In this fiscal year, the final year of our medium-term management plan, we achieved a high level of EBIT exceeding the initial target of JPY 200 billion through profit expansion in the non-aviation business domain and increase in earnings and profit in Full Service Carrier, Mileage/Finance and Commerce Business, and Other Business.
For the LCC Business, in particular, we have been expanding the network from Narita International Airport, with ZIPAIR - an LCC for medium to long-haul international flights - as the hub of our LCC Business. For the Mileage/Finance and Commerce Business, we have been expanding the services that make it easier for our customers to save up and use mileage points.
Regarding human capital management, we received the “D&I AWARD Grand Prize” - the highest honor in the corporate category for companies with more than 3,001 employees - at the “D&I AWARD 2025”, Japan’s leading award recognizing and certifying companies promoting Diversity & Inclusion (D&I). We have also been certified as a “Best Workplace” with the highest rating for the fifth consecutive year since 2021. Going forward, we will continue to foster an environment where diverse talents can
thrive across a wide range of fields and realize the creation of new value.
For the Green Transformation, we have been operating the Airbus A350-1000, which provides environmentally friendly flights. We’ve started using domestic SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) from May 2025. Going forward, we will continue to work alongside our customers and society to expand the use of SAF, aiming to take climate action while achieving business growth.
In addition, we received the international certification for aviation security management “Operating (Level 2)” from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), being recognized for achieving a high level of security management in the aviation industry. Also our continuous efforts to enhance corporate value have been highly evaluated, as demonstrated by the global recognition of our service quality. Notably, we were awarded the “WORLD CLASS” rating at the 2025 APEX EXPO, making us the only Japanese airline to be recognized for the fifth consecutive year. Furthermore, we were named a “5-Star Airline” - the highest rating - from SKYTRAX for the ninth consecutive year.
On March 2, the JAL Group announced its new growth strategy, the “JAL Group Management Vision 2035”. Going forward, we will drive the business portfolio transformation to achieve the EBIT targets of JPY 300 billion in FY2030 and JPY 350 billion in FY2035.
We are focusing on growth and profit expansion in the International Passenger Business and the “Mileage/Finance and Commerce Business”. For the International Passenger Business, we will accelerate the growth by up-gauging aircraft size within and introducing more medium- to long-haul aircraft into our Full Service Carrier operations. For the “LCC Business”, we will scale up the international presence by expanding the network from Narita International Airport mainly with ZIPAIR. For the Cargo Business, we will expand our freighter network by introducing additional large freighters and expanding the transport of high-value-added cargo.
Furthermore, we will accelerate the growth of the “Mileage/Finance and Commerce Business” through strategic investments and by broadening cross-industry partnerships both domestically and globally.
Meanwhile, for the Domestic Passenger Business, we aim to rapidly improve profit margin through the introduction of fuel surcharges, collaboration with other airlines, and cross-industry improvements in the supply-demand balance. Through these initiatives, we will establish a sustainable domestic network that serves as vital social infrastructure.
The revenue for this consolidated fiscal year increased by 9.3% year on year to 1,587.4 billion yen, and EBIT increased by 30.5% year on year to 145.0 billion yen. (Revenue and segment profit are figures before intersegment eliminations.)

The JAL Group has achieved a significant increase in revenue and profit in this fiscal year (from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026) year-on-year.
For International Passenger, we significantly increased the number of passengers and the unit price year-on-year by capturing strong inbound demand continuously and recovering business demand outbound from Japan which exceeded our initial plan. We launched the Narita-Delhi route from January 2026. We’re also daily operating 12 flights on 5 routes including the Haneda-Paris route with the Airbus A350-1000, the state-of-the-art aircrafts. We strive to further enhance customer convenience and expand profitability by these efforts. In addition, Japan Transocean Air, one of our group companies, launched the Okinawa-Taipei route from February 2026. Meanwhile, following the flight suspensions by foreign airlines due to the worsening situation in the Middle East in March, we proactively captured alternative demand for our direct flights to Europe, as well as absorbing connecting demand from India to North America. As a result, we have successfully secured revenue surpassing that of the suspended Doha route.
For Domestic Passenger, both the passenger numbers and the revenue have increased year-on-year as a result of our demand stimulus measures amid the severe business condition. Taking the opportunity of the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, we promoted regional travel for inbound tourists. Furthermore, to seamlessly connect air travel with diverse means of transportation, we have been successfully expanding our collaboration with domestic airports and transport operators. A prime example is the recent integration of our JAL MaaS “Transit Information & Transportation Ticket” site with JR's reservation service “Ekinet”.
For International Cargo, we strategically concentrated on capturing the robust freight demand between Asia and North America by deploying Kalitta Air's large freighters alongside our own fleet. Additionally, by intensifying our focus on high-value shipments, including pharmaceuticals and AI/EV-related components, both the cargo volume and the unit yields significantly outperformed the previous year, driving substantial revenue expansion. Also, we initiated “JAL de Hako-byun” - a seamless transit service integrating Shinkansen and aviation in alliance with the JR East Group - to stimulate the global export of local Japanese products. Furthermore, we strengthened our partnership with Cargolux Airlines to lay the groundwork for a more robust and stable European cargo network starting in FY2026.
For Domestic Cargo, amidst stagnant overall demand, we proactively pursued new business by introducing new services such as proxy security inspections and hosting targeted seminars for shippers.
Moreover, we expanded our dedicated freighter operations in collaboration with Yamato Holdings addressing broader social challenges through logistics solutions and successfully achieving year-on-year revenue growth.
The revenue for this consolidated fiscal year increased by 10.4% year on year to 114.9 billion yen, and EBIT decreased by 17.1% year on year to 9.6 billion yen. (Revenue and segment profit are figures before intersegment eliminations.)

(Note) 1. Revenue Passenger Kilometers (RPK) is the number of fare-paying passengers multiplied by the distance flown (km).
Available Seat Kilometers (ASK) is the number of available seats multiplied by the distance flown (km).
Revenue Cargo Ton Kilometers (RCTK) is the amount of cargo (ton) transported multiplied by the distance flown (km).
The distance flown between two points, used for calculations of RPK, ASK and RCTK above, is based on the great-circle distance and according to statistical data from IATA (International Air Transport Association) and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization).

Figures have been truncated and percentages are rounded off to the first decimal place.
Flexibly responding to the increasing demand in the LCC market, we achieved an increase in revenue year-on-year, while the number of aircraft remained the same as the previous year.
Responding to the strong travel demand, ZIPAIR has increased flights on the Narita-Bangkok, Seoul, Los Angeles, and Honolulu routes. In addition, from February to March 2026, we operated the first-ever nonstop charter passenger flights from Japan to Orlando, Florida, USA, to capture the expanding travel demand. In terms of services, from February 2026, we have equipped the fleet with SpaceX’s satellite internet service named “Starlink” as the first airline in Asia, enabling a high-speed and stable in-flight internet connection on par with the ground-level performance. We will progressively commit to a phased rollout of this service, aiming for full availability across all aircraft and routes.
Going forward, through building a network with three distinct LCCs including SPRING JAPAN and Jetstar Japan, we will keep on contributing to the growth of both inbound and outbound travel while aiming to create new flows of people.
The revenue for this consolidated fiscal year increased by 10.9% year on year to 222.2 billion yen, and EBIT increased by 19.5% year on year to 45.5 billion yen. (Revenue and segment profit are figures before intersegment eliminations.)
Because of JALUX’s increased revenue and steady growth in mileage points issued, profits have steadily increased.
For Mileage, Money Square HD, an equity-method affiliate of the Company, launched a new program in February 2026, which enables customers to earn mileage points through daily asset management. Furthermore, we have also commenced collaborations with overseas financial institutions, such as Capital One and Bilt Rewards, with the aim of expanding our mileage services to customers overseas. Meanwhile, we are diversifying the redemption options of the mileage points usage by enlarging experiential rewards, such as the “Miles de Experience”. We will continue to promote the “JAL Mileage Lifestyle” concept, which enhances the opportunities of earning and using mileage, thereby expanding our customer base and achieving profit growth.
For Commerce, on the other hand, we continue to record stable profits, mainly led by the sustained strong performance of JALUX’s aircraft engine parts transactions.
For ground handling in Others, we started practical deployment - at Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) and Narita International Airport - of autonomous towing tractors equivalent to an Automated Driving Level 4 qualification (fully driverless operation under certain conditions), the first such implementation in Japan, beginning in December, 2025. This will accelerate automation and the efficiency in airport operations, and reduce environmental impact through the use of electric vehicles. We will keep on contributing to the establishment of a sustainable airport ground handling framework, and thoroughly promote the contracted services for other airlines as a whole.
- Outline of Financial Condition for the Current Fiscal Year Assets, Liabilities and Equity
Assets in this fiscal year-end increased by 403.8 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 3,198.7 billion yen, mainly due to the increase of cash and cash equivalents.
Liabilities increased by 85.7 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 1,863.9 billion yen mainly due to increase in Contract Liabilities.
Equity despite of its decrease from dividend payment increased by 318.0 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 1,334.7 billion yen, as a result of the recognition of other equity instruments through the issuance of unsecured perpetual subordinated bonds and the increase in the profit attributable to the owners of parent.
As a result of the above, Shareholders’ Equity ended at 1,289.6 billion yen, and the Shareholders’ equity ratio increased by 5.4 percentage points from the end of the previous fiscal year to 40.3%. For details, refer to “3. Consolidated Financial Statements and Primary Notes (1) Consolidated Statement of Financial Position”.
- Outline of Cash Flows for the Current Fiscal Year Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As a result of adding back or subtracting non-cash items including depreciation and operating receivables and operating payables to/from profit before income tax of 207.2 billion yen, cash flow (inflow) from operating activities was 394.8 billion yen (cash inflow of 381.5 billion yen for the previous year).
Cash Flows from Investing ActivitiesCash flow from investing activities (outflow) was 183.1 billion yen mainly due to acquisition of fixed assets (cash outflow of 281.1 billion yen for the previous year).
Cash Flows from Financing ActivitiesCash flow from financing activities (inflow) was 44.6 billion yen mainly due to the income from other equity instruments.(cash outflow of 64.9 billion yen for the previous year).

(Reason of variance in consolidated financial results compared to the results in the previous fiscal year)
In this fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, as described above, the revenue increased year-on-year driven primarily by the strong performance of our Full Service Carrier Business especially on international routes. Furthermore, as the robust performance of our highly profitable Mileage/Finance and Commerce Business continues, operating profit, EBIT, profit before tax, profit attributable to owners of parent have also exceeded that of the previous year. Despite a sharp rise in fuel prices in March due to the unclear situation in the Middle East, there were no noteworthy impacts on our business results.
Please refer to “1. Outline of Operating Results (1) Outline of Operating Results for the Current Fiscal Year” in the attachment for details.
- Future Outlook
The JAL Group has formulated a new growth strategy, “JAL Group Management Vision 2035” on March 2, 2026. Beyond the framework of the conventional 5-year Medium Term Management Plan, we will pursue radical changes in the 10-year horizon, agilely and flexibly managing the ongoing environmental shifts by executing annual fiscal plans concurrently.
Specifically, we plan to double the capital expenditure on aircraft such as the expansion of the international fleet and up-gauging.
In addition, we will enhance strategic investment in the domain of Mileage/Finance and Commerce Business. As a result, we will accelerate the business portfolio transformation to realize new growth.
Meanwhile, we remain in a business environment that requires constant vigilance towards the political and economical shifts, as the international situation has been rapidly becoming more uncertain, including the soaring crude oil prices due to the prolonged conflict in Ukraine and heightened tensions in the Middle East.
Despite the severe circumstances, we will ensure the stabilization of the performance of both our aviation and non-aviation business for the fiscal year ending in March, 2027. Therefore, as outlined in the aforementioned management vision, our consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year is a revenue of 2,095.0 billion yen, EBIT of 180.0 billion yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent of 110.0 billion yen.
- Basic Policy on Distribution of Profits, and Dividend for the Current and Next Fiscal Year
The JAL Group regards shareholder returns as one of its most important management matters. Our fundamental policy is to actively implement shareholder returns through continuous and stable dividends and flexible acquisition of treasury shares, while securing internal reserves for making investments for corporate growth and adapting to changes in the business environment, to build a strong financial structure.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, despite the fact that the earning results exceeded the consolidated financial results forecast for the full year announced on March 2, 2026, we decided to maintain the year-end dividend to 50 yen per share and the annual dividend to 96 yen per share, considering the current Middle East situation.
We forecast a dividend of 96 yen per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, including an interim dividend of 48 yen per share based on the above maintained dividend forecast.
- Business Risks
Taking into account the content of its business centering on the scheduled and unscheduled air transportation business, the JAL Group is exposed to the following risks, or items with possible major effects on investors’ investment decisions. This does not cover all risks which the JAL Group is exposed to, as risks exist other than those below that are unpredictable. The following includes forward-looking matters, but these items were determined as of March 31, 2026.

The JAL Group operates “Air Transportation (FSC・LCC)”, mainly in passenger and baggage carriage or mail and cargo handling in both international and domestic routes, “Mileage/Finance and Commerce”, mainly in mileage award services provided to our member customers, and “Other” businesses.
Revenues arising out of these businesses are recognized in accordance with contracts with customers, and there is no significant financing component in the contracts. None of the considerations in contracts with customers is not reflected in transaction prices.
The JAL Group operates a customer loyalty program called “JAL Mileage Bank”. Members in the JAL Mileage Bank can collect miles through flights with the airlines in JAL Group or other services, and can redeem them for flights with JAL group or other partners' services. Miles that are expected to be redeemed are identified as performance obligations, and deferred on the statement of financial position as a contract liability. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the ratio of the standalone selling price, considering the utilization rate of the service and the expected expiration. A transaction value allocated as performance obligations of miles is deferred as contract liabilities in condensed quarterly consolidated statements of financial position, and revenue is recognized as miles are redeemed.
Air Transportation (FSC・LCC)
In the air transportation business segment (FSC・LCC), the JAL Group provides services related to the international and domestic transportation of passengers, cargo & mail and baggage on aircraft. The main revenues are recognized as follows.
Passenger operations
Passenger revenue is mainly revenue earned from passenger transportation services using aircraft. The JAL Group has the obligation to provide customers with international and domestic air transportation services according to the Conditions of Carriage. The performance obligation is satisfied upon completion of the passenger's air transportation service. The transaction price may fluctuate because we may offer discounts when selling tickets or pay incentives based on the amount of sales. In addition, consideration for a transaction is generally received in advance before the performance obligation is satisfied.
Cargo and mail-service operations
Cargo and mail revenues are mainly revenues earned from air cargo and air mail handling operations. The JAL Group has the obligation to provide international and domestic cargo and mail transportation services.

This performance obligation is satisfied upon the completion of providing the benefit services. The timing of receiving monetary compensation varies depending on the service that grants the miles. The timing of receiving compensation for miles granted in accordance with the use of our group's air transportation services is mainly before the use of the air transportation services, while the timing of receiving compensation for miles granted in accordance with the use of services by partner companies is mainly after the use of those services.
In terms of income from providing credit card-related services, our group is primarily obligated to provide payment services to the card members who are mainly our customers. This performance obligation is satisfied according to the membership period based on the contract with the card members, and the transaction compensation is usually received in advance before the performance obligation is satisfied. Additionally, in terms of income from product sales, our group sells mainly clothing, miscellaneous goods, food, etc., through stores and e-commerce, and is obligated to deliver these products to customers. This performance obligation is
satisfied upon the completion of product delivery or customer inspection, and the transaction compensation is usually received after the performance obligation is satisfied. The amount of variable consideration included in these revenues is not significant.

Revenue related to planning and sales of air travel package tours is mainly recognized over a certain period of time as the service is provided, and consideration for a transaction is generally received in advance before the performance obligation is satisfied. Additionally, revenue from ground handling services for foreign airline flights is mainly recognized upon the completion of providing the service, and consideration for a transaction is generally received after the performance obligation is satisfied.
