Japan Airlines (JAL) launched a Boeing 767-300ER, designated ‘JAL Fantastic Journey Express’ (aircraft registration: JA622J), themed after Tokyo DisneySea’s eighth theme port ‘Fantasy Springs’ on October 21. This special livery aircraft will operate on domestic lines for approximately one year until November 2025.
Fantasy Springs, which opened on June 6, is a new theme port comprising three areas inspired by Disney movies “Frozen,” “Tangled,” and “Peter Pan,” along with the Fantasy Springs Hotel.
The aircraft’s livery features Arendelle Castle, Rapunzel’s Tower, and Captain Hook’s Jolly Roger, set against a backdrop of Anna, Elsa, Rapunzel, and Peter Pan, embodying the world of Disney fantasy led by a magical spring. The design is symmetrical on both sides, with decals covering an area of approximately 5 meters in height and 34 meters in length on each side, totaling 208 decals used.
Inside the cabin, special design headrest covers and paper cups for drink service are available. The headrest covers feature red for Class J and black for standard seats, but share the same design. The paper cups come in three different patterns, provided randomly. Additionally, the in-flight melodies during boarding and deplaning are “You Can Fly!” and “Journey to Fantasy Springs.”
The inaugural flight was JL323 from Tokyo/Haneda to Fukuoka at 3:10 PM, carrying 252 passengers (including three infants). Models of aircraft with Disney characters painted on them were displayed at the gate, and JAL employees handed out commemorative stickers to every passenger upon boarding.
Flight JL323 departed at 3:11 PM. After arriving in Fukuoka, it was scheduled for a return flight to Tokyo/Haneda as JL326. Starting from October 22, besides the Tokyo/Haneda-Fukuoka route, the 767-300ER, including the ‘JAL Fantastic Journey Express,’ will operate on routes such as Tokyo/Haneda-Sapporo/Chitose, Osaka/Itami, Hiroshima, Kagoshima, and Okinawa/Naha. The specific flight schedule will be published on the website the evening before the day of operation.
