Japan Airlines announced its second-quarter earnings report on 2 November 2026, reporting revenue of ¥1.098 trillion, an increase year on year, and interim profit of ¥39.06 billion, down 42.2% year on year. Although demand and fares increased, soaring fuel prices and yen depreciation put pressure on costs. The results appeared to affect the share price from the same day onward, with the stock fluctuating by -4.62% from the previous day on 2 November, +4.85% on 4 November, +7.96% on 5 November and -4.54% on 6 November.
Key points to monitor for future performance include higher fares on international and domestic routes and increased revenue from mileage, financial services and commerce, while the risk of higher costs due to fuel prices and exchange-rate fluctuations has also been identified. Factors affecting medium- to long-term performance based on the earnings report and annual securities report are expected to be the focus going forward. Immediately after the earnings announcement, attention also turned to strategic measures such as aircraft renewal, plans to increase flight frequency and expanded partnerships.
