Japan Airlines introduces its first Freighter in 13 years
JAL has chosen to introduce three Boeing 767-300ER Freighter (specifically designed cargo planes). JAL will be operating its own Freighter for the first time in 13 years, and operations will start consecutively at the end of the fiscal year 2023.
By employing cargo space on passenger flights and chartering other businesses’ freighters in response to need, JAL has been securing profits in the air cargo market, where demand fluctuates greatly, consistently and effectively. However, the company chose to run its own freighters because it had plans for further expansion in the cargo and mail business.
It will form partnerships with logistics partners and run routes that guarantee steady demand in order to capture domestic and international e-commerce, parcel delivery, and other high growth goods. Additionally, it will help domestic air transport play a bigger part in addressing the “2024 issue” and reduce business risks brought on by changes in demand and market circumstances.
