Due to a supply chain disruption affecting component delivery, the airline’s launch of the A350-1000 aircraft, which was initially scheduled for late November 2023 on the Tokyo (Haneda) – New York (JFK) route, is expected to begin before the end of the year.

[Highlights of New Services]

Cabin Interior: The entire aircraft cabin has been created to take passengers in tranquility and immerse them in Japanese aesthetic elegance, creating a peaceful environment that captures the beauty of Japan.

Seatings: Completely redesigned seats have been installed in all classes to provide JAL’s most relaxing and comfortable experience to date. First Class and Business Class offer spacious, yet fully-private environments, and Premium Economy Class provides enhanced privacy and comfort. Economy Class has been designed for enhanced relaxation and well-being, featuring spacious seating and ample legroom.

Inflight Meal Service: New services that cater to customers’ various interests and values will be provided progressively. To lessen the environmental impact and address social issues, JAL will encourage the use of non-petroleum derived plastics for cutlery and dishes. By working with passengers, the airline hopes to promote a sustainable future.

1. Cabin Interior and Seat Specifications:

1.1 First Class

The new seating arrangement features just six (6) suites to create a unique and exclusive cabin environment. Seats are designed to provide even greater comfort and the addition of individual doors, for the first time by JAL, increases privacy while also creating a more open individual atmosphere with the elimination of overhead storage compartments.

2. Business Class

Despite the increase in seat capacity to 54 from the current international flagship configuration, ample spacing has been prioritized to ensure a comfortable and individual inflight experience. Notably, in Business Class, doors have been introduced for the first time to ensure privacy, and overhead storage compartments are exclusively positioned on the window side to create an open atmosphere.

3. Premium Economy Class

In pursuit of the utmost comfort in its class, the cabin features large partitions to significantly improve privacy. It is also the first Premium Economy Class in the world to introduce electrically operated reclining functionality.

4. Economy Class

Having won the “Best Economy Class Airline Seat” by SKYTRAX for five consecutive terms, JAL has further enhanced the spacious legroom and improved the seating for enhanced comfort.
