Japan's largest airline has ordered 13 A350-1000s for its long-haul fleet and expects to take its first delivery this Summer before deploying it on the 13,156-kilometre Tokyo to New York route.

The A350-1000 typically seats between 350 to 410 passengers in a standard three-class configuration. JAL will quite possibly fly four cabins so that number will decrease.
