| JAL Eco Jet "Nature" livery (Source: JAL Press Release) |
As some of you might already know this, Japan Airlines (JAL) is in the progress of repainting its fleet with the new livery after the logo change. There were speculations and ideas throwing around on how JAL will repaint its original JAL Eco Jet which features a green Arc of The Sun livery. JAL finally officially reveals the new JAL Eco Jet livery and they called it JAL Eco Jet "Nature" and unfortunately there's no green crane logo on the tail as some of you might have hoped for :p
This is indeed the same 777-200 used for the original JAL Eco Jet with registration JA8984. So instead of a green crane, JAL decided to paint the logos of the various eco projects they support. This plane will be mainly flying between Tokyo Haneda and Osaka Itami, Fukuoka, Sapporo Chitose.
JAL has quietly rolled out this plane on its domestic network on September 30 2011 and only issue the press release and held a press conference today. Some of the lucky ones have already seen or flown this in person. You can find some high resolution snapshots on this Japanese blog. And fumitani on Flyertalk and MilePoint has is nice enough to send me the photo of the JAL Eco Jet "Nature" below (and yes this was his flight...lucky him :D)

And if you fly on this newly painted JAL Eco Jet "Nature" between October 13 and November 30 2011, JAL will be giving away "Eco Seeds" of the spring flower Swamp Chrysanthemum to the passengers. Passengers are encouraged to plant the seeds and make the world a greener place.
So wondering what the logos meant. Below are the explanations
