TOKYO, June 3, 2009 (AFP) - Asia's largest carrier, Japan Airlines, cancelled at least 31 domestic flights while dozens more were delayed on Wednesday due to a computer glitch, affecting more than 9,000 passengers.
JAL reported problems with its check-in system early Wednesday, preventing passengers from going through departure gates at Tokyo's Haneda airport, a company spokesman said.
The trouble, which came after the company introduced new software for electronic tickets, affected at least 9,242 passengers by noon, the spokesman said.
"The system is mostly back to normal but still a total of 33 flights were delayed," a company spokesman said.
