JTA goes for Boeing narrowbodies
Okinawa-based Japan Transocean Air (JTA) has ordered 12 Boeing 737-800, with an option to switch to the renengined MAX model.
The order, valued at $1.1 billion at list prices, will mark the start of the airline’s fleet renewal program with the new airplanes scheduled to enter into service from 2016.
A member of the Japan Airlines Group, JTA is based in Naha, Okinawa, and currently operates a fleet of 737-400 airplanes on domestic routes linking Okinawa with major Japanese cities as well as other islands within Okinawa Prefecture.
