Airbus A350-1000 delivered to JAL in Toulouse, France
Japan Airlines (JAL) has unveiled the first state-of-the-art Airbus A350-1000, aircraft designation: JA01WJ, which will be launched on the Haneda/New York (JFK) route from Wednesday, January 24, 2024. The aircraft, which was delivered at the Airbus factory in Toulouse, France, will depart from Toulouse on the afternoon of December 14, 2023 (local time) and is expected to arrive at Haneda Airport on the morning of the 15th.
The much-anticipated cabin interior is also unveiled for the first time. The high-quality guest rooms are imbued with traditional Japanese beauty throughout, and are designed to be highly comfortable as the new flagship. The cabin has a total of 239 seats, including 6 first class seats, 54 business class seats, 24 premium economy class seats, and 155 economy class seats.
◼️First class (1-1-1 configuration, 2 rows, 6 seats)
Doors are installed to increase privacy, but the absence of storage shelves above the seats creates an overall open atmosphere. The height of the private room wall is approximately 157cm (62 inches). In addition to the sofa, seat and single bed modes, there is also a double bed mode where the seat area can also be expanded. In addition to having luggage storage space and a wardrobe, the personal screen is equipped with a 43-inch 4K monitor. The seat pitch is approximately 211 cm (83 inches), the seat width is approximately 123 cm (48 inches) at maximum, and the bed length is approximately 203 cm (80 inches) at maximum, ensuring plenty of space. The seat was manufactured by the British company Saffron Sheet GB.

◼️Business class (1-2-1 configuration, 14 rows, 54 seats)
For the first time in this class, each seat has a door, creating a private room. The height of the private room walls is approximately 132 cm (52 inches). In bed mode, the bed length is approximately 198 cm (78 inches), providing a comfortable sleeping experience with cushions that disperse body pressure. Along with First Class, we introduced the “world’s first” built-in headrest speakers that do not require headphones. The reclining headrest allows you to watch in-flight entertainment while lying down. In addition, we have installed an electric privacy partition in the center seat so that passengers can communicate with their fellow passengers when seated side by side.
Overhead baggage storage bins, which have been abolished in first class, are only installed near the windows. It can be used in conjunction with the wardrobe and luggage storage space provided in the private room. Seats are manufactured by the British company Safran Seat GB, which is the same as First Class.

On the Haneda/New York (JFK) route, which will begin service from Wednesday, January 24, 2024, only one aircraft, the first JA01WJ, will be operated, so it will be introduced every other day on daytime flights JL006/005. Boeing 777-300ER aircraft will continue to be used on days of the week when flights other than JA01WJ and night flights JL004/JL003 will be operated. Once we receive the second JA02WJ in fiscal 2023, we will deploy it on all days of the week on daytime flights JL006/005 and operate the A350-1000 daily. After receiving the third aircraft, we plan to use it on flights JL012/JL011 on the Haneda/Dallas route in addition to the daily Haneda/New York (JFK) route.
