JAL resumed operations of its own freighter in February 2024 for the first time in 13 years, expanding the air cargo transportation network along with the cargo space on passenger flights.

The new codeshare agreement with KALITTA will enable JAL to meet the continued strong demand for cargo transportation between Asia and North America by providing stable and flexible air cargo services with the addition of large cargo aircraft from another company.

Additionally, the passenger flight on the Narita-Chicago route will be launched on May 31, 2025, further enhancing the transportation network between Japan and North America, contributing to the further promotion of both passenger and cargo transportation.
