According to The Sankei Shimbun, Japan Airlines will withdraw from Kobe Airport from may 2010. That means we now know 4 out of 17 domestic routes being axed: Kobe-Chitose, Kobe-Haneda, Kobe-Naha, and Kobe-Ishigaki. Capacity reduction at Kansai is also expected but the report doesn't mention specific routes.

There was a bird strike on Japan Airlines flight 3302 from Sapporo to Kobe on January 3 2010.

According to The Aviation Herald (which by the way has a really cool photo of the aircraft after the bird strike and you can see fire coming out of the engine), it was a Boeing 767-300 which is registered as JA8299. A bird was ingested to the left engine during the initial climb. The plane returned to Sapporo safely 15 minutes after departure. None of the 231 people onboard was hurt.
