Destinations
JALways, under then-name Japan Air Charter operated its first commercial flight from Fukuoka to Honolulu, USA in July 1991 with a DC-10 aircraft, after receiving its air operator's certificate. In 1992, the airline introduced regular passenger charter services between Osaka and Bangkok. Initially, Japan Air Charter operated its passenger services as regular charter flights only, these were passenger flights that were operated by the airline on behalf of their parent, Japan Airlines. In 1999, Japan Air Charter was rebranded to JALways and was granted scheduled services rights in 1999. In the following years, the airline's operations expanded to more cities in Japan and to other countries across Asia, including Australia, Indonesia, India, Philippines and Vietnam.
