Japan Airlines on Thursday reported a cyberattack that caused delays to domestic and international flights but later said it had found and addressed the cause.
Problems with the airline’s baggage check-in system had delayed more than a dozen flights at several Japanese airports, public broadcaster NHK said, but there were no mass cancellations or major disruption.
Japan Airlines (JAL) is the country’s second-biggest airline after All Nippon Airways (ANA).
“We identified and addressed the cause of the issue. We are checking the system recovery status,” JAL said in a post on social media platform X.
“Sales for both domestic and international flights departing today have been suspended. We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” the post said.
Earlier on Thursday, a JAL spokeswoman said the company had been subjected to a cyberattack.
Network disruption began at 7:24am on Thursday (local time), JAL said in a statement.
