FACTBOX-A profile of Japan Airlines

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Japan Airlines Corp 9205.T is expected to file for one of the country's largest ever bankruptcies on Tuesday, marking the failure of the former state-owned carrier that once symbolised Japan Inc's international aspirations.

JAL, Asia's largest airline by revenues, will remain in the skies under a state-backed restructuring plan as it tries to free itself from about $16 billion in debt in exchange for slashing its workforce by a third and shedding unprofitable routes, sources have said. [ID:nTOE60D0AQ]
