Yamato ends cargo-only flights due to high costs, impacting its logistics operations.
Yamato Holdings and Japan Airlines (JAL) announced on the 3rd that they will end their domestic cargo-only flight operations by around June next year. These cargo planes had attracted attention as the "flying Kuro Neko" (flying black cat). The service was launched to address a shortage of truck drivers, but due to the weak yen and soaring fuel prices, air transport costs have exceeded expectations, making it difficult to continue.
