The backbone of Japan Airlines' domestic fleet is no longer the Boeing 777-200, but the Airbus A350-900. The carrier is now withdrawing all 777-200s with PW4000 engines. Originally it was only planned that the number of machines, some of which were getting on in years, should be reduced.

After the engine incident, which did not affect Japan Airlines at all, the phasing out of the B777-200 proceeded rapidly. Officially, some machines are only parked, but the company has confirmed that they will not be used again at Japan Airlines. There are only seven copies left that are not yet on the official list for phasing out, but according to the airline, this is only a matter of a few days.

The operation of the total of 13 Boeing 777-300ERs is to be continued. Some of these are much younger and, on top of that, they are not powered by the criticized engine. Within Japan, the eight Airbus A350-900s are to be used on routes with high demand. The carrier intends to use the ordered copies of the longer -1000 version primarily on international routes. Domestic Boeing 767-300ERs could occasionally help out, but the era of the 777-200 ends at Japan Airlines.
