Debt-ridden Japan Airlines (JAL) said it will suspend its scheduled freighter flight services by the end of October and would instead use the cargo belly space of passenger flights. The airline's passenger flights provide cargo capacity of about three times the volume available on its scheduled freighter flights, Reuters reported. The market conditions for international cargo business is expected to remain severe and the new cargo business structure aims for a stable profit that can boost the recovery of its financial standing, the company said. JAL said it will continue its cargo business by using the belly space of 508 weekly passenger flights plying 56 international routes, and on 134 domestic routes with 904 daily one-way flights.
