Japan Airlines (JAL)’s 8th Airbus A350-1000 aircraft (registration number: JA08WJ) left Toulouse, France, on the afternoon of December 7th. It is expected to arrive at Haneda Airport around noon on December 8th.
JAL received this 8th aircraft earlier than the 7th due to a change in Airbus’s assembly schedule.
The Airbus A350-1000 is a new flagship international aircraft, the successor to the current main international aircraft, the Boeing 777-300ER. The cabin is configured with 239 seats in four classes: 6 seats in First Class in a ‘1-1-1’ layout, 54 seats in Business Class in a ‘1-2-1’ layout, 24 seats in Premium Economy in a ‘2-4-2’ layout, and 155 seats in Economy Class in a ‘3-3-3’ layout. Both First Class and Business Class feature the first-ever enclosed suites with doors for JAL. The Inflight Entertainment (IFE) system in all classes is equipped with 4K resolution monitors and can connect to wireless headphones via Bluetooth.
