Japan Airlines Earns third 'WORLD CLASS' Airline Rating and Wins 'Best-in-Class in Safety and Well-Being' Award at the 2023 APEX/IFSA EXPO.



In 2023, Japan Airlines (JAL) maintained its status as one of the world's safest carriers, consistently earning a 7-star safety rating from AirlineRatings.com. The airline was also recognized by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) with the "Best-in-Class in Safety and Well-Being" award during the 2023 APEX/IFSA EXPO, marking its third consecutive "World Class" title. This rating is based on a rigorous evaluation of the airline's incident records over the past two to five years, fleet age, and compliance with the safety audits from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). JAL is renowned for its obsessive focus on operational precision and its "Safety Management System," which is deeply integrated into its corporate culture. In early 2026, the airline continues to report exceptionally high on-time performance and low rates of mechanical-related cancellations, reinforcing its global reputation for reliability and passenger security as it transitions to its new flagship Airbus A350-1000 international fleet.
