JAL - Japan Airlines (JL, Tokyo Haneda) wants to start replacing "around 40" of its older Boeing 777 aircraft from 2019, chairman Masaru Onishi has said. Currently, the Japanese carrier is considering the A350-1000, as well as the 787-10X and 777-9X as proposed by Boeing (BOE, Washington National). Onishi said the airline could come to a decision "soon" should the right terms be arrived at, but that JAL was not in any hurry. As with fellow Japanese carrier, ANA - All Nippon Airways (NH, Tokyo Haneda), the prospect of a deal with Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) marks a possible departure from the carriers' historic allegiance to Boeing. JAL's 777 fleet consists of twenty-six B777-200s, seven B777-300s and thirteen B777-300(ER)s whose overall average age is 10.5 years.
