One Year Since the Start of a New Era for Japan Airlines’ Long-Haul Fleet
On January 24, 2024, Japan Airlines (JAL) launched commercial operations with its first Airbus A350-1000, registered as JA01WJ. This milestone marks the first time the Japanese airline has deployed aircraft from the European manufacturer for its long-haul operations. The A350-1000 will gradually replace the Boeing 777-300ER, and so far, JAL has received nine units of this model.
The aircraft, which began international service last year on the New York-JFK route, has since expanded to destinations such as Dallas/Fort Worth and London-Heathrow, where it operates one of the airline’s two daily flights. By 2025, the A350-1000 is expected to also serve routes to Los Angeles and Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
With a capacity of 239 passengers, Japan Airlines' A350-1000 features four service classes. First Class offers six seats in a 1-1-1 layout, while Business Class has 54 seats in a 1-2-1 configuration. Premium Economy includes 24 seats arranged 2-4-2, and Economy Class accommodates 155 passengers in a 3-3-3 layout. Each cabin is equipped with new amenities and features designed to enhance the passenger experience.
