JAL Virtual Group’s First Anniversary
One year ago, JAL Virtual Group opened with the vision of reviving the spirit of Japan Airlines and bringing together a community that extends far beyond our Japanese roots. As Japan’s largest virtual airline, this past year has been one to remember.
As we commemorate our first anniversary, we invite you to join us as we celebrate the pilots, partners, and experiences that have made JVG the community it is today.
This event is rooted in our origins, as we spotlight Haneda Airport in the heart of Tokyo. For 24 hours, JAL Virtual Group, our partners, and the community will be flying into Tokyo from all corners of the globe.
While this event is a daylong Tokyo fly-in, we’ll also be hosting a featured group flight from Seoul’s Gimpo Airport to Tokyo. Whether you’re flying alongside us or finding your own way to Tokyo, we’d love for you to join us in our celebration at JVG. More details and suggested routes can be found below.
Below, we’ve listed a few of the routes that we, as well as our partners, will be flying in this event. Though you are encouraged to join us, there are plenty of routes into Tokyo that you can fly.
