Overview
Japan Airlines (JAL) is one of Japan's two major airlines, founded in 1951 as the country's first post-war commercial carrier. Headquartered in Tokyo with hubs at Tokyo Haneda and Tokyo Narita, JAL operates a global network reaching North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
The fleet is anchored on the Airbus A350-900 / A350-1000 (which replaced retired 777-200s on domestic and international long-haul) plus Boeing 787-8 / 787-9 Dreamliners, Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 767, and Boeing 737-800 for shorter routes. JAL was the worldwide launch customer for the A350-1000.
JAL is a member of the oneworld alliance (since 2007) and partners closely with American Airlines, British Airways, Qantas, and Cathay Pacific. The carrier operates Japan's flag-carrier responsibilities on prestige long-haul routes and is a regular Skytrax service-quality award winner.
JAL Mileage Bank is the frequent-flyer programme, with status from Crystal through Diamond JMB. JAL's "Sky Suite" Business cabin and First Class on the 777 / A350 are widely regarded as exemplars of Japanese hospitality in the air.
