The rapid expansion of international slots at Tokyo Haneda Airport has created a temporary supply imbalance, although more growth at Tokyo’s airports will still be needed in the future, Japan Airlines Chairman Masaru Onishi said.
The carrier operates four 737-800s and a 737-700. Its new 737s are scheduled to arrive in 2018–19, and will be subject to a sale-leaseback arrangement with GE Capital Aviation Services.
