JAL revamps cargo fleet, routes and frequencies

10/1/2008 10:22:49 AM

From January 2009, Japan Airlines (JAL) will suspend freighter-only operations between Tokyo (Narita) and New York, and will reduce freighter frequency between Tokyo (Narita) and Los Angeles from six to five flights per week.   By the end of November 2008, JAL will also have retired from service its last remaining two 747-200 freighter aircraft. The airline will also cancel the passenger-to-freighter conversion of one of its 747-400 aircraft.   JAL will focus its freighter resources on two destinations in North America: Chicago and Los Angeles.   JAL will respond to demand for cargo capacity to and from New York by using belly space on its passenger flights, which operate fourteen times per week on the Tokyo-New York route, and by using feeder truck services to and from the airline's freighter gateway in Chicago.   Eyefortransport
