What the Japan Airlines tracker can confirm
This profile uses airline code JL, the reference hub Tokyo (NRT), and a rounded fleet figure of 170 aircraft to help identify Japan Airlines traffic on the globe. Fleet totals and route networks change as aircraft are delivered, stored, leased or retired, so they are descriptive reference values rather than a live company filing.
PocketWorld displays aircraft only when a usable public ADS-B observation and enough metadata are available. A missing flight does not mean that it was cancelled, and a callsign match does not replace the operating airline's schedule or status page.
Aviation data sources
Live positions are aggregated from OpenSky Network and community ADS-B providers. Coverage, update intervals and route metadata vary by aircraft and region.
