Japan Airlines (JAL) has unveiled a new special livery called the ‘JAL Fantastic Journey Express’.
The design is inspired by ‘Fantasy Springs’, a new area within the Tokyo DisneySea® theme park, located in the Japanese capital. Fantasy Springs opened in June 2024 and features themes from the films ‘Peter Pan’, ‘Frozen’ and ‘Tangled’ from the US animation studio.
The new livery will be painted on a Boeing 767-300ER (registration JA622J), which the Japanese carrier uses on domestic flights.
Japan Airlines has been a long-time sponsor of the Tokyo DisneySea® Park and has painted five other aircraft with Disney motifs since 2001.
As is common in such cases, the themed experience will not be restricted to the outside of the aircraft. Passengers flying on this aircraft will also find many Disney-themed elements onboard, such as headrest covers, paper cups, commemorative gifts, and boarding pass stickers.
Two Disney songs, ‘You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!’ and ‘Journey to Fantasy Springs’, will also be played during boarding and deplaning, adding to the experience.
This B767-300ER will start operating with the new paint scheme in early October 2024. To check which routes and flights it will serve Japan Airlines has put together a dedicated website (in Japanese).

I love PAN AM but please DON’T fit it with 757s , the worst airplane in the world.
broski i think the 757 aint the worst plane in the world. its an overpowered pencil plane
If its not painted in Pan Am retro livery ill cry
I Hope They Continue To Operate After Being Short Lived
It’s just a travel agency who has purchased the rights to use the former Pan Am name for a “one off” nostalgic journey using a chartered Boeing 757.
I’m obviously unaware of your nationality but the grammar used in your message makes no sense whatsoever. 🤔

A great positive nostalgic move for super lucky Pan Am fans.

I flew as a flight attendant for them and I was hired very young, but I’d return to fly this trip for them .. I still have my Pan Am wings..
Flew with Pan Am in my early teens from Bangkok Bombay Teheran Frankfurt London NewYork ( and couldn’t recall how my father and myself how we
finally got to Massachusetts where my Dad brought to s boarding school St John’s Preparstory School in Danvers Massachusetts my memory of 65years ago might not be accurate …. Yes Indeed , Pan Am flew me to and fro for years of higher education spent in the USA…nostalgia so it is to recall those first flights I have ever taken and the difference how so much convenient it is now with some nonstop flights to wherever it is possible to reach one’s destination..
