Japan Airlines Spends USD $6 Billion to Grow Fleet

Thursday, March 01, 2012
Japan Airlines (JAL) is changing, becoming more aggressive about growth.  Management has just revealed a five-year plan that includes buying USD $6 billion worth of new aircraft. The goal is to modernize the entire fleet and also reduce fuel costs with more advanced aircraft.
 
Included in the plan is the Boeing 787 Dreamliner jumbo jet. As Japan Airlines takes older planes out of the fleet, it will replace them with the fuel efficient B787 and also the new models of the B737.
 
The airline plans to place additional orders for 10 Dreamliners -- bringing the JAL total for this next generation jumbo jet to an astonishing 45 aircraft. It also plans to start service to San Diego and Helsinki from Tokyo's Narita airport by 2013.
 
The airline is looking to increase its international flights over the next few years.

In the two years I spent at Phoenix East Aviation, I had the chance to meet an incredible number of dedicated professionals, who literally went out of their way to assure some of the best initial training one can get. The instructors I had -- and later on the students I taught myself -- have since all  had successful aviation careers throughout the world. My experience training pilots from different backgrounds, and my actual line flying on the Saab 340, Saab 2000 and B-737 brought me to the conclusion that initial training quality is greatly important for being able to perform in the demanding environment of airline flying. It is precisely for that quality of training and for the airline-oriented approach that I warmly recommend Phoenix East Aviation as an excellent coice for people choosing to have an airline career later on.
