Investing.com — Japan Airlines Co. (TYO:) said Thursday it had been hit by a cyberattack, delaying some domestic and international flights.

Japan Airlines said the attack began at 7:24 a.m. (2224 GMT) and disabled internal and external systems.

In response, the airline temporarily disabled the router, causing a system glitch, and suspended ticket sales for flights departing on Thursday.

ANA Holdings Inc (TYO:), Japan's other major airline, said its systems showed no signs of being affected by any cyberattack, Reuters reported.
