Taiwan's Starlux Airlines has risen rapidly, with ambitious plans to join the world-renowned Oneworld alliance. Despite facing a highly competitive market and potential headwinds from founding members such as Cathay Pacific, StarLux is committed to improving global connectivity and service levels, positioning itself as a high-end innovative airline.
Japan Airlines-JAL will launch a special livery design on the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner to celebrate the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Kansai, Japan. This aircraft will display the cute image of the official mascot "MYAKU-MYAKU" and is scheduled to debut on June 3, 2024. This article details this exciting program and its impact, and provides a history of specially painted aircraft from the past.
In 2024, Japan Airlines (JAL/JL) launched the innovative "JAL Life Status Program". This is not only an airline's frequent flyer mileage program, but also a comprehensive lifestyle improvement program. This plan crosses the boundaries of traditional aviation business and extends to various diversified service areas of JAL. Its purpose is to enhance customer loyalty and participation by providing a wider range of services.
In sharp contrast to this plan is Japan Airlines' past "FLY ON Program". This old program was mainly aimed at frequent flyers, allowing them to accumulate flight miles to gain the opportunity to join the exclusive "JAL Global Club (JGC)", which provides a semi-lifetime membership. JGC is so attractive among aviation enthusiasts that many people will engage in the so-called "JGC practice" - this group of aviation enthusiasts will carefully plan flight itineraries to meet the club's entry standards at the lowest cost and time.
