Ninety-two thousand was a PNR

Ninety thousand is a booking line. Two thousand is the passport room.

JAL and Japan Transocean Air said today that Amadeus, which runs their reservation, ticketing and check-in stack, told them on 23 October that a third party had read some of the PNRs. The window they will brief is 10 August 2023 to 23 September 2026 — the dates the records sat in that system, not the travel dates. About 90,000: reservation number, name, date, sector, class. About 2,000 more: those fields plus email, phone, passport number, nationality, mileage number, carrier, flight, ticket number, seat. Total about 92,000. Cards and passwords, they say, did not leave. Amadeus says the hole is closed. No misuse confirmed. Operations, they say, did not move.

JAL moved this stack to Amadeus in 2017. ANA is on the same product for a different set of flights and said it is still checking. That is not this count. Do not paste 92,000 onto ANA.

What 92,000 will be asked to cover

It will be briefed as every JAL passenger since 2023, and as every Japanese passport. It is a slice of PNRs that sat in one vendor for three years. Ninety thousand are a booking. Two thousand are a passport and a phone. A restored check-in desk is evidence about today’s queue. It is not a finding that the PNR came back.

If you flew JL or NU in that window, wait for their letter before you treat a screenshot as your row. A mail that already knows last March’s seat and asks for the rest of the passport is the next page if it is. Cards are not this file.

Ninety-two thousand is a PNR count. Keep the two thousand in a different sentence.
