In a significant move, Japan Airlines will purchase 42 new aircraft, including Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787 Dreamliners, to modernize its fleet and expand international operations.

Japan Airlines plans to acquire 42 new aircraft from Airbus and Boeing, aiming for fleet renewal and international expansion.
The order includes 21 Airbus A350-900, 11 A321neo, and 10 Boeing 787-9 aircraft, with deliveries stretching from 2025 to 2033.
This strategic move marks a shift towards more fuel-efficient planes and a focus on sustainability, with Airbus A350s using 25% less fuel.
