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.
“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.
Earlier Thursday, a JAL spokeswoman told AFP the company had been subjected to a cyberattack.
Then “at 8:56 am, we temporarily isolated the router (a device for exchanging data between networks) that was causing the disruption”, it added.
The airline is just the latest Japanese firm to be hit by a cyber attack.
The same year, Nagoya Port, one of Japan’s busiest, was crippled by a ransomware attack that was blamed on Lockbit, a Russia-based cybercrime organisation.
In 2022, the government said a cyberattack was behind disruption at a Toyota supplier that forced the top-selling automaker to halt operations at domestic plants for a day.
More recently, the popular Japanese video-sharing website Niconico suspended its services in June because it was under a large-scale cyberattack, its operator said.
