🟢 | Before Japan Airlines’ Boeing 787-8 entered service, early aircraft including JA822J, JA823J, JA824J, JA825J and JA826J were painted at Boeing’s Everett facility in JAL’s “Arc of the Sun” livery. After JAL revived its iconic red crane logo during its 2011 post-bankruptcy rebranding, these Dreamliners were repainted before delivery. As a result, no JAL 787 ever carried the old livery in commercial passenger service; JA822J later became ZIPAIR’s first Boeing 787.
