A JAL 767-300

Japan Airlines announced it is rolling out completely new aircraft interiors and as well as in-flight Internet on its domestic fleet of Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.  The new interiors are also destined for domestic Boeing 777s and 737-800s.

The newly-configured Boeing 767-300ERs will begin to fly the Tokyo-Osaka route starting December 8, 2014.

JAL currently offers four daily flights between the two cities.

Osaka International Airport, also known as Osaka-Itami, serves the Kansai region of Japan, including the cities of Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe.

JAL is expanding its existing domestic first-class cabin to some 767-300ERs including the ones to be used on the Haneda-Osaka route.  The 21”-wide recliner seats have privacy partitions, padded leg rests, and adjustable foot rests as well as a seat pitch of 51”.

In addition, the Tokyo-based airline will install new leather business-class seats that are 18.5” wide with a seat pitch of 38”.  In coach, it is installing slim-style seats whose design give each passenger an additional 2” of seat pitch without increasing the actual distance between rows.

Finally, the airline is installing Gogo in-flight Wi-Fi on these aircraft as well as a new in-flight entertainment system that streams music and video programs to passengers’ own Wi-Fi enabled devices at no charge.
