7 October, one of the largest Japanese air carriers signed a contract with the Airbus corporation. Today in Tokyo, a press conference was held, at which the president said that they are buying wide-body aircraft A-350 worth 9,5 billion dollars.

Airline JAL will purchase Airbus 13 350-1000 and 18 aircraft A350-900.

This decision the Japanese airline took because of problems in the operation of Boeing-787 Dreamline, which had problems with engines and batteries.

Also, by agreement, JAL is going to purchase more 25 airliners. They said they plan to spend about 5 billion dollars on new aircraft.
