TOKYO: Japan Airlines on Monday posted a consolidated net loss of 93,707 million yen for April-June, the largest quarterly loss since the company went public again in 2012.
The airline saw a drop in passenger numbers due to entry restrictions across the world and travel restraints in Japan amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In the latest fiscal first quarter, sales plunged 78.1 percent from a year before to 76,391 million yen.

It did not announce earnings estimates for the full year ending in March 2021.
ANA Holdings Inc., the parent of domestic rival All Nippon Airways, logged a net loss of 108,819 million yen for the April-June quarter due to the pandemic.
