Douglas DC-10 Douglas Aircraft Company's three-engine DC-10, introduced to the JAL fleet in 1976, was the last in the famous "DC" range of airliners, originating in the 1930's. The DC-10 was developed as a medium capacity wide-bodied jet and depending on the route is equipped with up 300 seats. JAL operates the DC-10 on domestic and international routes.

Boeing 737-400
In the 1990's JAL expanded domestic services to many new regional destinations which needed smaller aircraft than those already in the fleet. The answer was the introduction of the 150-seat Boeing 737-400 to handle route expansion efficiently and economically. The 400-series is equipped with the latest electronic systems and high-performance engines.

Boeing 777-300 (Star Jet)
Boeing and a group of airlines working together in a unique design project jointly developed the revolutionary 777 two-engine jet. Low fuel consumption and low noise levels are the key features of this very modern aircraft, which is winning praise for airlines and passenger alike for its high reliability and comfort. The 300 series is the stretched version of the 777 design and at 73.9 meters long - longer than a 747 - is the longest commercial airliner in current service.
