🇯🇵 About the Airline
Japan Asia Airways (JAA) was a subsidiary of Japan Airlines established in 1975 to operate routes to Taiwan due to political sensitivities regarding the People's Republic of China. The airline maintained a separate identity with its distinctive red crane livery while operating JAL aircraft and adhering to JAL service standards. JAA ceased independent operations in 2008 when services were reintegrated into Japan Airlines following improved cross-strait relations.
