Narita Airport’s function as a global hub and increase international flights to and from Haneda Airport. At the same
time, the airline will speed up both the renewal of its fleet as well as implementation of its premium
customer-oriented strategy. 
Strengthening Narita’s Function as a Global Hub
JAL will adjust its operations at Narita Airport in preparation for the slot expansion in 2010. The airline will fine-tune
the network it offers out of the airport to find the best mix of routes to satisfy business and tourism demand from

can act effectively as a bridge between the dynamic economic zone of Asia and Europe and the US.

by Japan Asia Airways to Taiwan: Taipei and Kaohsiung.

737-800 aircraft, as part of its policy of fleet renewal and downsizing. In line with its premium passenger oriented
strategy, JAL will expand its new domestic first class service on Japan domestic routes to increase the airline’s
product competitiveness

JAL will continue building on the improvements it made to its domestic flight schedule which resulted in a
significant improvement in the airline’s on time performance (OTP) rate in FY2007. 

a.  First time cutting-edge E170 introduced to Japan
JAL will introduce for the first time to Japan Embraer 170 regional jets (E170). The jets, featuring outstanding
interior comfort and state-of-the-art equipment, will start operations from February 2009 on mainly routes from
Nagoya (Komaki). Introduction of the Embraer 170 will enable the JAL Group to promote optimal aircraft size
depending on the scale of demand on each domestic route, and develop business operations more efficiently. The
new small aircraft will help JAL improve its regional network and meet the business chances in and after
FY2010 resulting from increased slots due to the expansion of Tokyo’s Haneda airport.

b.  New routes for Mt Fuji Shizuoka Airport
JAL plans to operate flights to *censored*uoka and Sapporo from Mt Fuji Shizuoka Airport when the new airport opens
for business. The new Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport is scheduled to open for business in March 2009. JAL plans to
offer a daily service to *censored*uoka in Kyushu, and a thrice daily service to Sapporo in Hokkaido from the new
airport. The airline is currently assessing the potential passenger demand on these new routes using Mt Fuji
Shizuoka Airport to determine the type of aircraft to operate, and the possibility of launching additional flights or
routes. 
c.  Route Improvements from Osaka (Kansai)
JAL will inaugurate a daily service between Osaka (Kansai) and Sendai. Flight frequency will be increased
between Kansai airport and Okinawa (Naha) to meet tourist demand. Schedules will be adjusted to improve
access to the Kansai region and to facilitate smoother domestic connections for international flights heading for
Shanghai, Southeast Asia and other overseas destination.

d.  Domestic First Class Service Route Expansion
First introduced to Japan on December 1, 2007 on the Tokyo - Osaka (Itami) route, JAL’s domestic first class
will also be introduced on the Tokyo (Haneda) - *censored*uoka and Tokyo (Haneda) - Sapporo routes in the first half
of FY2008. The service will be introduced on the *censored*uoka route from April 2008, and from June 2008 on the
Sapporo route, in advance of the G8 Summit to be held in Toyoko, Hokkaido in July 2008. In July, the domestic
first class service will be expanded onto all 15 roundtrip flights between Tokyo (Haneda) and Osaka (Itami). 

3. Cargo Operations
In FY2008, JAL will complete the retirement of all its classic-type 747-200 freighters (747F). These are being
replaced by 747 freighter conversions (747BCF), which together with the airline’s 747-400 freighters (744F), will
increasingly be used on direct routings. JAL’s medium-size 767-300 freighters (767F) will enable the airline to
flexibly respond to meet strong demand in China and Southeast Asia.

4. FY2008 Aircraft Retirement & Renewal Plan (International/ Domestic Passenger & Cargo)

JAL plans to continue retiring older aircraft, replacing them with state-of-the-art, more fuel efficient, small and
medium size aircraft to reduce costs and increase competitiveness.
By the end of FY2008 the JAL Group fleet used for international/ domestic passenger and cargo business will total
273 aircraft, one more than at the end of FY2007.
