"Jetstar cancels 15 domestic flights due to prolonged strike," 29 December 2023

Budget carrier Jetstar Japan Co. canceled 15 domestic flights as it could not secure enough workers for operation amid an ongoing strike by some union members, affecting some 2,600 people, the company said...

The union, including flight crew members, launched the strike on Dec. 22 following failed negotiations with management over demands that the airline pay employees' unpaid wages and allegations that overtime work had been calculated erroneously.

The union has said it will continue the strike through Jan 7.

On the 1st January, the union called off the strike altogether in order to prioritize responding to the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
