JAL 777 goes GREEN

Not quite as hideous as the green FlyBE plane, but JAL’s attempt at a green plane does not do it for me either.

Looking good I think, explanation of why they have a ‘green’ T7 is below…

Tokyo, April 22, 2008: Japan Airlines (JAL) has decorated a 777-200 aircraft with a ‘green’ design to help in raising people’s awareness of the issue of climate change and global warming, and clearly re-state the company’s unwavering commitment to reducing the impact its business activities have on the global environment.

Called the JAL Eco Jet, the aircraft will carry on its fuselage a 2-meter high by 7-meter wide green origami paper plane motif accompanied by the words ‘Sky Eco’ in both Japanese and English. The conventional JAL livery of the aircraft will be modified by changing the color of the ‘arc of the sun’ design on its tailfin from red to green. JAL plans to operate the aircraft from June 2008 on Japan routes serving Haneda airport, Tokyo, its main domestic hub.
