The transport ministry launched a new task force Friday to help Japan Airlines Corp. fundamentally revise its turnaround plan by the end of November.
The task force, which will submit an outline of the new restructuring plan by the end of October, consists of five experts on corporate restructuring, including team leader Shinjiro Takagi, a special adviser to Nomura Securities Co. and former chairman of the Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan.
"JAL is the main body that will create the rehabilitation plan, but we will check whether it is fair and feasible from the viewpoints of third parties, experts and ordinary citizens," Takagi said at a news conference.
