TOKYO: Japan Airlines Co Ltd (JAL) is looking to raise 300 billion yen (US$2.72bil or RM11.29bil) by the end of the month to ride out anticipated funding challenges amid a continued slump in air traffic, two sources familiar with the matter said yesterday.

The funds will be raised through financing that includes subordinated loans though the exact methods are still under consideration, according to the sources, who confirmed an earlier Nikkei report, declined to comment.
