JAPAN Airlines is (obviously) from Japan. They were founded in 1925, then ceased operation in 1945 and started operating again in 1951. Their callsign is JAPANAIR. JAL is based in Shinagawa and operating out of Toyko Haneda Airport with 144 aircraft. 77 Planes are still ordered. Their biggest plane currently is the Airbus A350-900 and the smallest is a version of the Boeing 737-800. JAL has subsidiaries which i am not going to put in here, because it will be difficult even to put in the aircraft jal had themselves, because its gonna kill my fingers.
