International Route Changes @ JAL

Japan Airlines has made the following adjustments to its international route and flight frequency plans for fiscal year 2012 (year ending 31 March 2013).

Inauguration of Non-Stop Flights to and from San Diego

JAL has set the date for the launch of its new nonstop service between Tokyo (Narita) and San Diego as 2 December 2012, flying four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

This will be a joint business service with fellow oneworld airline member and joint business partner American Airlines. Customers can now make bookings with JAL via its call centers and websites, as well as with American from later this month.

Daily Flights to and from New Delhi

JAL will add two more weekly round-trip flights between Tokyo (Narita) and New Delhi, making the route a daily service from 28 October 2012.

To accommodate more high-yield corporate demand, JAL will change the aircraft deployed on the route to the larger Boeing 777-200ER which also offers Premium Economy service. The wide-body 777-200ER will initially be used on three of seven flights a week from 28 October to 30 November, until the full switchover from the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner currently assigned to the route.

Days of Operation Changed on Moscow service

At present, JAL's direct flights between Tokyo (Narita) and Moscow are operated three times a week on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. From 28 October 2012 JAL will change these days of operation to Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
