As a professional aviation company,
JAL aims to create a prosperous and sustainable society
through comprehensive air mobility operations that are safe and secure.
We will provide next generation transport and travel infrastructure that meets the needs of the region
utilizing our operational know-now in air travel.
We will support sustainable social implementation of drones by providing advanced drone operation management and safety management know-how to solve various social issues, including disaster prevention and daily life logistics on remote islands.
In February 2024, we launched a drone business in Amami Setouchi Town to support island life.
Developing drone solutions tailored to local characteristics and applications
We will create new value of transportation through advanced air mobility in the sky.
We believe eVTOL have the potential for use in not only transportation and sightseeing from the airport, but also medical emergency response operations and disaster relief operations.
JAL Group is sponsoring “Smart Mobility Expo” “Advanced Air Mobility” at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, to demonstrate the potential of eVTOL in future society.
We aim to realize the social implementation of eVTOLs,
building a new transportation network.
