A union strike is planned for 1 October, which will likely affect more than a quarter of Japan Airlines' (JAL) flights, with 152 domestic flights to be canceled and four flights to be delayed. The air carrier stated that the strike is over a number of issues, including reforming the wage system. JAL pilots indicated that they may extend the strike to 2 October, further disrupting operations; however, JAL insisted that no flights to and from the United States and other international destinations will be affected
