MORE BOEING 787 Dreamliners are to be used for the low-cost long-haul niche after Japan Airlines (JAL) announced a plan to set up a new business unit in the market. JAL plans to establish the new, yet-to-be-named carrier at Tokyo-Narita, initially with two 787-8s. JAL says the operation will be focused on medium to long-haul flights and will aim to provide new travel options connecting Tokyo with "select destinations" in Asia, Europe and the Americas. The carrier is due to launch after upgrades to Narita are completed in summer 2020, which coincides with that year's Tokyo Olympics.
