In a statement, Japan Airlines stated that “The JAL Group will strive in unity towards ensuring the highest level of safety in all flight operations, continue to improve the quality of the products and services to our valued customers, and increase its corporate value and
contribute to the growth and development of society”.
One of the most traditional Japanese airlines, JAL is in the process of modernizing its fleet and recovering losses suffered in the past decade.
After several years as a traditional Boeing customer, Japan Airlines began flying with Airbus A350 widebodies. In December, the airline received the first A350-1000, which will be its main long-range, large-capacity aircraft in the fleet.
