Japan Airlines to Introduce 42 New Aircraft from Airbus and Boeing
On domestic routes, JAL will introduce 21 Boeing 737-8 aircraft to replace its current Boeing 737-800 fleet, starting from 2026. Additionally, to update their existing fleet of medium-sized Boeing 767 aircraft, JAL has decided to introduce 11 Airbus A321neo aircraft. This marks the first-time introduction of Airbus A321neo aircraft for JAL. These aircraft will be strategically deployed on routes that align with demand, including to and from Haneda Airport, starting from 2028. Furthermore, JAL has also decided to introduce one additional Airbus A350-900 (domestic configured) as a replacement for the A350-900 aircraft that was lost in January 2024.
JAL Group remains committed to steadily advancing the introduction of fuel-efficient aircraft as part of its efforts to achieve CO2 emissions reduction targets (a 10% reduction in total emissions compared to 2019 by fiscal year 2030, and near-zero emissions by fiscal year 2050).

【Overview of A321neo】
The Airbus A320neo series is currently being operated by over 70 airlines worldwide, with more than 3,000 aircraft in service, and Airbus has received more than 10,000 orders.

Compared to the previous A321ceo model, it is expected to achieve a reduction of approximately 15% in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, showcasing excellent economic and environmental performance.
Furthermore, the standard Airbus Airspace interior enhances the sense of spaciousness and comfort in the cabin. The advanced engines also offer high noise reduction, meeting the stringent Chapter 14 noise standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), ensuring a quiet onboard environment.
