The In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system in all classes features 4K resolution monitors and allows connectivity to wireless headphones via Bluetooth.
JAL has ordered a total of 13 aircraft, with the first one arriving at Haneda Airport on December 15, 2023, the second on January 15, the third on March 31, and the fourth on August 1. This model commenced operations on January 24, currently serving the Tokyo/Haneda-New York/John F.
