Japan Airlines (JAL) has announced that it will begin introducing its new Airbus A350-1000 international aircraft on the Tokyo (Haneda) to New York (JFK) route, starting on 24 January 2024.
Additionally, JAL is scheduled to receive its second aircraft by the end of Fiscal Year 2023 (31 March 2024), which will allow daily A350-1000 operations on the same flights. After the delivery of the third A350-1000, JAL has decided to expand the aircraft’s reach to include the Tokyo (Haneda) to Dallas Fort Worth route.
The new A350-1000 aircraft will provide customers with all-new cabin interiors that offer a comfortable and relaxing cabin space. The operation of the latest fuel-efficient equipment enables a reduction of 15-25% in CO2 emissions. Furthermore, in line with the expansion of the A350-1000 fleet, JAL plans to replace the amount equivalent to 1% of the onboard fuel with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) on Japan-bound flights to reduce CO2 emissions and further minimise environmental impact.
To enhance customer satisfaction and to strive towards a sustainable future, JAL will be replacing its fleet of Boeing 777-300ERs with new A350-1000 international aircraft. Japan Airlines has 13 A350-1000s on order.
