Japan Airlines has issued its full-year consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, projecting revenue of ¥2.095 trillion, EBIT of ¥180 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥110 billion. Despite lower profits than the prior year’s forecast, the airline expects higher domestic and international passenger revenue, driven by rising unit prices, robust inbound travel and a recovery in outbound demand from Japan.

Operating expenses are forecast to rise by ¥109 billion, reflecting a weaker yen, higher prices and proactive investments in human resources, including base salary increases, which will pressure margins. Even so, management plans to maintain shareholder returns by keeping the annual dividend at ¥96 per share, signaling confidence in medium-term profit growth and commitment to stable payouts while funding growth initiatives and reinforcing its financial base.
