JAL marks delivery of first new A350 passenger jet

Japan Airlines received Friday its first delivery of a new Airbus A350 passenger jet at Tokyo International Airport, also known as Haneda airport. The delivery marks the first introduction in Japan of the cutting-edge jet manufactured by Airbus. The aircraft will be used for services connecting Tokyo and Fukuoka from September. The A350-900 passenger jet arrived at Haneda airport after departing from Toulouse, France, on Thursday. JAL has ordered 18 A350-900 jets, which each have 369 seats. It also plans to purchase 13 A350-1000 jets, which have more capacity. At a hangar at Haneda airport, JAL workers greeted the new aircraft with a banner that read, “Welcome! New wings for a new era.” <br/>
