Problem :

Insolvent (Bangkrut)

The global economic crisis in 2008 has brought the victim. One was Corp (JAL). Japanese government-owned airline which already fragile fundamentals in the last 10 years it immediately collapsed. On Tuesday (19/1), JAL has formally requested the commencement of the bankruptcy proceedings of the company after the Japanese government refused to provide bailout funds to patch up the debt that has reached 16 billion U.S. dollars, or about 160 trillion rupiah.

As a result of the bankruptcy news, JAL shares closed at 5 yen per share after briefly being in the lowest level, 3 yen per share. The airline had lost 90 percent of capitalization market since earlier this month. With a market value of about 150 million U.S. dollars, while the value of JAL even lower than the price of a Boeing 747. Bankruptcy does not mean the end of the story of the largest airline in Asia.

In fact, controlling 60 percent of JAL flight in Japan was still operating, even after declaring bankruptcy. Unlike the bankruptcy process in Indonesia, Japan knows that the legal system is similar to bankruptcy proceedings in the United States. Japanese companies are bankrupt means could ask for protection from its creditors to restructure its debt at the same time.

The move is usually taken if the debt restructuring process is not successful. Typically, the company will file bankruptcy with a court order. It will minimize the rights of shareholders, employees and creditors so that the restructuring will be easier to do. Prune Related Employee JAL bankruptcy, sources quoted by Reuters said that the restructuring, JAL will slash 15 thousand employees, replacing older aircraft fleet, trimming routes that are not profitable, a business that is not related to the main business, as well as employee pension funds. In fact, creditors will be forced to remove the JAL 350 billion yen worth of debt. A number of very bitter pill of course not possible under normal conditions. Because, JAL as a company known for its government employees unions are very rigid and difficult to change culture. In fact, four times the chamfer's funding from the Japanese government in the last 10 years the airline was unable to fix it.

"I'm not worried about the future of the airline because I believe the government will certainly support," said Yasuhiro Matsumoto, a credit analyst at Shinsei Securities.

Although it has been bankrupt, the Japanese government is still confirming its support through the Enterprise Turnaround Initiative JAL Corp of Japan (ETIC). ETIC will inject up to 300 billion yen capital to ensure JAL keep operating. It seems that bankruptcy is the only way to fix JAL.
