Japan Airlines faced a cyberattack on Thursday, disrupting domestic and international flights and halting ticket sales. The airline reported a system malfunction at 7:24 am local time, affecting its internal and external networks. By 8:56 am, the issue's root cause—a malfunctioning router—was identified and addressed. Temporary measures included shutting down the router and suspending ticket sales for all flights scheduled for the day. The airline apologized for the inconvenience and is monitoring system recovery. Founded in 1951, Japan Airlines operates from hubs at Tokyo's Narita and Haneda airports and Osaka’s Kansai and Itami airports.
