Qantas Adjusts Japan Operations With Airbus A330 for Winter 2026/27
Qantas is ramping up its Japan network for the Northern Winter 2026/27 season, placing the Airbus A330 at the heart of strategic upgrades and frequency increases.
All Nippon Airways is deferring the retirement of its last domestically-configured Boeing 777-300 aircraft, ensuring these high-capacity jets remain a fixture on key Japanese routes into early 2027 and providing crucial support during the airline’s fleet transition period.
Scoot has announced a significant expansion of its route network with the launch of three new destinations — Chiang Rai in Thailand, and Okinawa and Tokyo Haneda in Japan. Services will begin progressively between December 2025and March 2026, further strengthening the airline’s footprint in two of its most popular regional markets.
Japan Airlines (JAL) has officially taken delivery of its 10th Airbus A350-1000, continuing its strategic overhaul of its international long-haul fleet. The newest aircraft, registered as JA10WJ, joined the fleet on July 17, 2025, as part of the airline’s broader plan to phase out its aging Boeing 777-300ERs in favor of more efficient, modern widebodies.
