Briefing
Adds a daily Tokyo–Delhi connection from 17 Jan 2026, strengthening Japan–India links and fitting JAL's international fleet plan to withdraw narrowbody aircraft from international operations by 2030.
Operated with a Boeing 787‑8, the route follows broader 787 deployments on India long‑haul services such as IndiGo's Mumbai–London Heathrow 787‑9 launch, underscoring continued reliance on widebodies to open or restore long‑haul markets.
Contributes to the wider recovery and expansion of India's international network after 2025 disruptions, alongside carriers' network restorations like Air India's phased return of international services.
