Interior

Could anyone get the information on the interior of JAL aircrafts?? For example, Air France first class seating was designed by Contour Premium Aircraft Seating. Spyco

– There was a spacing in between 'Air' and 'Lines' as seen in the livery itself and it wasn't changed until the 1989 livery was used. And per our norm, we do also include a spacing such as Swiss International Air Lines, Delta Air Lines, Korean Air Lines etc. All above pages mentioned are affected.

Seems reasonable, the article says the name changed in 2004. Not sure about Japan Air Lines Cargo in these titles it doesnt appear to be a seperate airline, the NTSB report for 1045 makes no mention of a seperate airline and it used the standard "Japan Air" callsign. .

What is this discussion doing here? it looked as though you wanted to move the Japan Airlines article. Putting it in the right place and making it clearer that the events in question date back to before the new livery would save people some time figuring it out. --Deeday-UK (talk) 09:01, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

@Deeday-UK: Sorry, wasn't sure where to put it as there were so many articles to cover. And since we do have airlines separated from the main passenger airline such as Korean Air Cargo or Lufthansa Cargo, this will also probably come into that category. KlientNo.1 (talk) 12:22, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Also I moved the page of Japan Airlines Cargo Flight 8054 to Japan Airlines Cargo Flight 1045 because I'm not sure from which source did flight 8054 come from. Per official JAL source, it is flight 1045: [1]. KlientNo.1 (talk) 06:29, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Japan Airlines Cargo is not an official airline just a brand neither is Korean Air Cargo but Lufthansa Cargo is (seperate article and it has its own ICAO Code and callsign. So we really need to remove the cargo from the JAL ones. MilborneOne (talk) 08:59, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

@MilborneOne: Sorry for not responding in a while, was a bit busy. But I'm fine with removing the 'cargo' word from the article name. Although, guess we can do that for Korean Air Cargo Flight 6316 and Korean Air Cargo Flight 8509. KlientNo.1 (talk) 06:34, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

• Support but Denied JAL Cargo per reason above. 101.10.2.232 (talk) 03:05, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
• Strong support, including for Japan Airlines Cargo, which is the identical airline but qualified as cargo. Did a bit of OR on this and it seems quite clear that the airline was in fact called Japan Air Lines and not Japan Airlines, and considering that thi is clear on the lettering of all the photographs that show the fuselage I am not sure why it took so long for us to get to this point.

Result: Fails GA criterion 2, as significant unsourced material is present; also violates criterion 4, with some overly-promotional writing. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:01, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

The article is not meeting the GA criteria in a few ways:

• 5 cn tags, but some uncited passages not tagged
• Self-contradictory statement in lead (which airline is biggest)
• Not sticking to summary style. Contains many phrases like "On 7 February, several news outlets reported that", which rarely belong in encyclopedic articles.
• External links in the body of the article. Femke (alt) (talk) 09:10, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Name

When did "Japan Air Lines" change it's name to "Japan Airlines"? I'd expect this article to make this 100% clear, but I can find nothing. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

This company source says "A temporary office for the foundation of Japan Air Lines Inc." for 17 January 1951. But from 12 May 1951 onwards, it's just referred to as "JAL". According to Japan Air Lines Flight 123, it was still called Japan Air Lines in 1985. But WP is not WP:RS. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:17, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
