Japan Airlines says to suspend 15 routes

TOKYO, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Japan Airlines Corp (9205.T), the country's biggest airline, said on Thursday it would suspend flights on 12 domestic and three international routes.

It will also add five domestic and four international routes, while reducing the number of flights on four domestic routes.

The announcement came just a day after All Nippon Airways (9202.T), Japan's second-largest airline, said it would reduce or halt services on 11 routes, including those to Guam and Taipei, due to the soaring cost of aviation fuel.
