JAL, which re-listed its shares in Tokyo last year after a high-profile bankruptcy restructuring, reported sales of ¥294.1bn, up 2.6% year-on-year.
While the carrier did not give specific reasons for the weaker profit, a sharp decline in the yen has pushed up the price of dollar-denominated fuel, which is a major expense for airlines.
The four-month grounding of Boeing's Dreamliner also hit Japan's two biggest airlines hard, with ANA saying on Tuesday (30 July) that the crisis had helped drag it to a ¥6.6bn loss for the three months to June.
For the fiscal year to March next year JAL kept its previous forecast unchanged, at a predicted net profit of ¥118bn on sales of ¥1.272trn.
