Japan Aero Transit: Farewell of the Boeing 747
OSAKA, JAPAN (30-DEC-2007)

Japan Aero Transit (JAT) announced a major update to its fleet strategy, marking the official retirement and farewell of its legendary Boeing 747 fleet. The iconic aircraft will be succeeded by the modern Airbus A330, which now becomes JAT's new flagship widebody model across our primary routes.

Honoring a Fleet Pioneer
The Boeing 747 played a vital role in JAT's early expansion. With its massive capacity of up to 500 passengers, the 747 wrote an incredible chapter in aviation history.
It successfully changed the industry by proving how mass transit could connect communities efficiently. JAT expresses its deepest gratitude to our crew, engineers, and passengers who shared this unforgettable journey with the "Queen of the Skies."

The Airbus A330 Era: Efficiency and Comfort
As we look to the future, the transition to the Airbus A330 represents a highly practical upgrade for our airline.
For our passengers, the new flagship Airbus A330 brings a much more comfortable travel experience, featuring improved seating configurations, more personal space, and advanced in-flight technology.

Green Transition and Corporate Sustainability
From an operational perspective, this fleet modernization introduces several key benefits that support our sustainability goals and corporate standing:

• Significant Cost Reduction: Replacing the four-engine Boeing 747 with the twin-engine Airbus A330 significantly lowers fuel consumption and maintenance costs, improving the airline's financial efficiency.
• Environmental Commitments: The Airbus A330's advanced aerodynamics greatly reduce carbon emissions. This aligns perfectly with JAT's core Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) green transition targets, a move highly favored by our long-term investors and partners.

Unwavering Focus on Domestic and Regional Service
Looking ahead, Japan Aero Transit remains fully committed to its core strategy: serving our Japanese domestic trunk lines and our key East Asian regional destinations. The shift to the Airbus A330 ensures we can maintain our high operational standards while offering a more reliable and eco-friendly service.

JAT will continue to work hard every day to elevate our standards and provide the best possible hospitality to every customer who travels with us.
