Reduction of Noise

The JAL Group maintains an awareness that air transport is responsible for a number of negative effects on the environment and aims to live in harmony with residents around the airport.
To reduce noise, we are upgrading our fleet to the latest low-noise aircraft that comply with noise standards, and are actively introducing noise abatement operational procedures.

We are advancing the renewal of our fleet to the latest low-noise aircraft. Currently, all aircraft in our fleet comply with ICAO Chapter 4 (stringent noise standards). Furthermore, the proportion of aircraft meeting the even stricter latest standard, Chapter 14, has reached 44% (FY2024).

In addition to noise reduction through the introduction of new aircraft, the aircraft also operates in a noise-reducing take-off mode during takeoff, especially in Haneda Airport and Itami Airport, which are close to residential areas. In addition, we conduct noise reduction methods with safety as our priority, during landing include Reduced Flap, Delayed Flap & Gear, and Idle Reverse, and Continuous Descent Operations, which significantly reduces noise and CO₂ emissions.
