Japan Airlines grundades 1951 och började med internationella flygningar 1954 och är Asiens största flygbolag. Japan Airlines Corporation leder två flygbolag. Japan Airlines International skötte den internationella reguljärflygstrafiken, medan Japan Airlines Domestic flög inom Japan.

Den 19 januari 2010 begärde flygbolaget konkursskydd efter flera år av enorma förluster samt skulder på 178 miljarder kronor. Meningen med konkurskyddet är att genomföra en rekonstruktion av bolaget. Konkursen av flygbolaget är den sjätte största i Japan genom tiderna[1]

Fleet notes As the Japanese government plan to add more slots at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport by 2020, Japan Airlines intends to order more widebodies for growth in 2018 or 2019: it could exercise its 25 options on Airbus A350s on top of its 31 firm orders, due for delivery from 2019, and study others like the proposed Boeing New Midsize Airplane or the 787-10 to add to its 787-9 with 10 remaining to be delivered.[17]

Japan Airlines operates a mixture of narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. The airline provides economy class service on all routes; business class (J) service with larger seats in the cabin front on most major domestic routes; premium economy on some international routes; business class on most long-haul and some short-haul international routes; and first class on some long-haul and domestic routes.

On December 5th 2017, JAL announced it had invested $10 Million in the aircraft manufacturer Boom Supersonic, who is currently developing a new supersonic commercial airliner capable of seating up to 55 passengers. In exchange for their funding, JAL will be able to pre-order up to 20 Boom aircraft.[18]

Cargo[redigera | redigera wikitext]

JAL Cargo ended dedicated freighter aircraft operations in October 2010 after more than 30 years of service. It operated both propeller and jet aircraft through the years, most recently Boeing 747-400s (including aircraft converted from passenger to freighter configuration) and Boeing 767-300Fs. Limited cargo activity is now maintained through JAL's passenger aircraft lower deck holds.
