The
1950s
Major milestones
in the 1950s
JAL was born in 1951 amid a movement to resume civil aviation, which had been banned after the war. Initially, JAL borrowed planes from other companies and outsourced operations and maintenance, but in 1952 we began our own independent operations. In February of 1954, JAL launched our first international flights. The words “WINGS OF THE NEW JAPAN” were emblazoned on the aircraft bodies. JAL’s entry into the international market was based on our desire to connect with the world through the wings of a new Japan.
