Key goals include a 37% increase in operating profit from transport services and consolidated targets of \u00a5530 billion in revenue and \u00a571 billion in operating profit by FY2027. The strategy emphasizes expanded autonomous rail operations, digital innovation, fare restructuring, and a review of underutilized local lines such as the Ibusuki-Makurazaki and Nichinan routes. In parallel, the company will pursue regional revitalization initiatives in collaboration with municipalities and step up merger and acquisition activities to enhance inter-business synergies. Efforts to counter regional population decline and improve service sustainability form a central part of the plan. <b>Source: <\/b><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrkyushu.co.jp\/company\/ir\/policy\/pdf\/plan2025_2027.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JR Kyushu<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-157908\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fnn_jr-kyushu-local-train_2023_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"JR Kyushu Targets Profit Growth with Automation and Local Revitalization\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fnn_jr-kyushu-local-train_2023_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fnn_jr-kyushu-local-train_2023_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fnn_jr-kyushu-local-train_2023_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fnn_jr-kyushu-local-train_2023_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
