JAL’s A350-1000s are configured with six first, 54 business, 24 premium economy and 155 economy seats. They will replace the flag carrier’s 777-300ERs. JAL said the A350-1000 will fly alternate days on the route until a second A350-1000 joins the JAL fleet in late March. The wide-body route will then be upgraded to daily. “After the delivery of the third A350-1000, JAL will expand the aircraft’s reach to Tokyo Haneda–Dallas Fort Worth,” the airline said, without specifying the arrival date of the third aircraft into its fleet.
