"From Cabin Crew to President: Japan Airlines' Historic Appointment of First Female Leader"
Japan Airlines has appointed Tottori Mitsuko as its new president, making her the first female president of a major Japanese airline. Mitsuko, who has been with the company for nearly 40 years, spent over half of her career as a flight attendant before moving into management roles related to flight attendants and cabin safety. Her appointment is seen as unconventional for an airline executive, but it reflects a focus on safety and customer experience. This move is expected to inspire frontline employees and bring a fresh perspective to the airline's leadership.
