The two major airlines plan to raise bonuses and lump-sum payments in response to strong growth in domestic and international passenger demand and continued recovery from the pandemic.
Of these, Japan Airlines has presented to the labor union its policy of paying three months' monthly wages as a bonus for this winter to employees, including group companies.
Last winter, the company paid 3.1 months' monthly wages, and according to the company, the three-month payment is the highest winter bonus since the company went bankrupt and relisted its stock in 7.
In addition, ANA has proposed to the labor union that it will pay employees a lump-sum payment for one month at the end of the fiscal year, in addition to a lump-sum payment of two months' worth of monthly wages that it has already decided to pay this summer and winter.
It is assumed that the profit target will be achieved in the financial results for the year ending March next year, and if it is actually paid, the annual lump-sum payment will be one month's more than last year.
In the airline industry, whose business performance has fallen sharply due to the Corona disaster, the recovery in business performance has become clear due to a significant increase in domestic and overseas passenger demand, and it is beginning to be reflected in the improvement in the treatment of employees.
