Japan Airlines firms up 787 route relaunches

Japan Airlines is on track it seems with its 787 fleet testing as it confirms the routes that are to resume/commence on the 1st June.

In addition, JAL will have a second crack of launching the the Narita-Helsinki route due on the 1st July which was suspended initially due the the 787 grounding.

The Japan Airlines 787 route list looks like this:

From 1st June
– Tokyo Narita – Boston
– Tokyo Narita – San Diego
– Tokyo Narita – Singapore
– Tokyo Haneda – Singapore (specific flights)
– Tokyo Haneda – Peking

From 1st July
– Tokyo Narita – Helsinki

From 12th July
– Tokyo Narita – Dehli

From 1st September
– Tokyo Narita – Moscow DME
– Tokyo Haneda – San Francisco

From 1st December
– Tokyo Narita – Sydney

From 2nd December

As usual, check before you fly if a 787 is rostered to the route and times you wish to fly. Also note that substitutions may be made in the event of lack of aircraft.

For a lot of airlines, there is now a silver lining in the 787 cloud as airlines plot a return to service and start earning revenue – putting behind the events that lead to the 3 month grounding of the fleet.
