New JAL president, vice-president named as airline rebuilds senior management
Masaru Onishi, president of Japan Airlines (JAL) subsidiary Japan Air Commuter, has been named the new president of JAL, currently pursuing restructuring under the state-backed Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corp. of Japan (ETIC).
Onishi, 54, will officially take over as president on Feb. 1, joining new Chairman Kazuo Inamori -- honorary president of Kyocera Corp. -- in an effort to rebuild the insolvent flag carrier in three years or less. Meanwhile, Japan Airlines International Co. executive Hisao Taguchi will be promoted to the post of JAL vice president.
A former chief of JAL's maintenance planning office, Onishi has long experience in the maintenance field and plans to maintain the airline's strong safety culture.
With the new appointments, the ETIC is moving ahead with rebuilding JAL's senior management with younger talent.
