TOKYO, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average fell 2.5 percent on Monday, pushed lower by Canon Inc (7751.T) and other exporters after the dollar hit a fresh seven-month low against the yen in early trade. But Japan Airlines (JAL) 9205.T climbed nearly 7 percent following news that the struggling airline was in talks on investment by American Airlines and Delta Airlines (DAL.N).
