Under the theme of raising the notches one class above all cabin services, Japan Airlines (JAL) has been introducing JAL SKY SUITE 777 (SS7) and JAL SKY SUITE 767 (SS6) on select international routes. The airline today announced to introduce the Boeing 787-8 with a new cabin interior called JAL SKY SUITE 787 (SS8) on the Tokyo (Narita) – Frankfurt route (JL407/JL408) from December 2014, and on the Tokyo (Narita) – New York route (JL004/JL003) from January 2015.
