It is noted that almost 14 domestic flights were delayed as a result of the cyberattack. Some international flights were also affected.
We can confirm that we have been subjected to a cyberattack and are currently investigating the situation. There is a possibility of delays and cancelations
The airline said the problems began around 7:25 a.m., prompting JAL to halt ticket sales for domestic and international flights for the rest of the day.
