In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

Yoshiharu Ueki

Director amp Chairman

Japan Airlines

Yoshiharu Ueki joined Japan Airlines in 1975 and worked as a JAL pilot about 35 years

before becoming the first ex-pilot to serve as the carrierrsquos president since February 2012

He is leading JAL through remarkable stages of rebuilding its business after the carrier

resurfaced from roughly two years of bankruptcy protection

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

Director amp Chairman

Japan Airlines

Yoshiharu Ueki joined Japan Airlines in 1975 and worked as a JAL pilot about 35 years

before becoming the first ex-pilot to serve as the carrierrsquos president since February 2012

He is leading JAL through remarkable stages of rebuilding its business after the carrier

resurfaced from roughly two years of bankruptcy protection

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

Director amp Chairman

before becoming the first ex-pilot to serve as the carrierrsquos president since February 2012

He is leading JAL through remarkable stages of rebuilding its business after the carrier

resurfaced from roughly two years of bankruptcy protection

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

Director amp Chairman

before becoming the first ex-pilot to serve as the carrierrsquos president since February 2012

He is leading JAL through remarkable stages of rebuilding its business after the carrier

resurfaced from roughly two years of bankruptcy protection

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

Director amp Chairman

Japan Airlines

Yoshiharu Ueki joined Japan Airlines in 1975 and worked as a JAL pilot about 35 years

before becoming the first ex-pilot to serve as the carrierrsquos president since February 2012

He is leading JAL through remarkable stages of rebuilding its business after the carrier

resurfaced from roughly two years of bankruptcy protection

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

Yoshiharu Ueki

Director amp Chairman

Japan Airlines

Yoshiharu Ueki joined Japan Airlines in 1975 and worked as a JAL pilot about 35 years

before becoming the first ex-pilot to serve as the carrierrsquos president since February 2012

He is leading JAL through remarkable stages of rebuilding its business after the carrier

resurfaced from roughly two years of bankruptcy protection

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

Director amp Chairman

Japan Airlines

Yoshiharu Ueki joined Japan Airlines in 1975 and worked as a JAL pilot about 35 years

before becoming the first ex-pilot to serve as the carrierrsquos president since February 2012

He is leading JAL through remarkable stages of rebuilding its business after the carrier

resurfaced from roughly two years of bankruptcy protection

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

Yoshiharu Ueki

Director amp Chairman

Japan Airlines

Yoshiharu Ueki joined Japan Airlines in 1975 and worked as a JAL pilot about 35 years

before becoming the first ex-pilot to serve as the carrierrsquos president since February 2012

He is leading JAL through remarkable stages of rebuilding its business after the carrier

resurfaced from roughly two years of bankruptcy protection

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

Yoshiharu Ueki

Director amp Chairman

Japan Airlines

Yoshiharu Ueki joined Japan Airlines in 1975 and worked as a JAL pilot about 35 years

before becoming the first ex-pilot to serve as the carrierrsquos president since February 2012

He is leading JAL through remarkable stages of rebuilding its business after the carrier

resurfaced from roughly two years of bankruptcy protection

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success

Yoshiharu Ueki

Director amp Chairman

Japan Airlines

Yoshiharu Ueki joined Japan Airlines in 1975 and worked as a JAL pilot about 35 years

before becoming the first ex-pilot to serve as the carrierrsquos president since February 2012

He is leading JAL through remarkable stages of rebuilding its business after the carrier

resurfaced from roughly two years of bankruptcy protection

In a recent interview with IATA in October 2014 Ueki shared his insights on the future of

LCCS in Japan citing that though LCCs command about 30 of the market in America

35 in Europe and 50 in Southeast Asia low cost in Japan would not capture the market

in the same way with only about 8 share at present

Even when Japan might not be a lucrative market for LCCs in anytime soon the competition is not less tough if not so competitive Ueki

has a simple philosophy to drive JAL going forward maximize revenues and minimize costs To him keeping it simple - by focusing on

the need to deliver the profit - is the key to success
