JAL revises routes, frequency of flights
TOKYO —
JAL has revised its route, flight frequency and fleet plan for 2009. The plan will see changes made to five of its international passenger flight routes for short term periods in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.
Flights on the route to Korea, Incheon from Narita will be increased for a short-term period of seven months from March 29 to meet the stronger demand expected primarily from passengers in Japan, backed by the advantage of a strong yen rate and by the reduction in fuel surcharge.
On the other hand, from March 29, flights on four international routes will be reduced for a short-term period ranging from two to three months, when passenger demand is expected to be weak in view of the unremitting global economic crisis.
The international routes are: Narita-Beijing (decrease from 19 to 14), Narita-Shanghai (decrease from 28 to 21), Narita-Taipei (decrease from 28 to 21), and Haneda-Hong Kong (decrease from 7 to 4).
The airline has said that for customers who have already made reservations on flights that are subject to change, then it will offer alternative JAL flights with different timings.

With luck, better airlines will take up the Haneda-HK slack, and do it on a better schedule.

Flights from Haneda seem to be great at first, but what idiot decided to schedule the flights so that when you arrive at HK, all the trains and buses have stopped? Seeing that Seoul-bound flights leave Haneda in the early evening, I just can't see why they don't do the same for HK-bound flights. And I can't see why they don't have flights from HK arriving at Haneda in the late evening. The return flight at the moment is such that you just want to sleep as soon as you arrive at Haneda in the morning. You can't sleep on board because the journey's short and there's a meal.

The idiot owns stock in HK Taxi companies. Seems like a pretty smart idiot to me.
