| Name origin | The name is the English form of the company's Japanese name Zen Nippon Kuyu, meaning All Japan Air Transport. Nippon Helicopter renamed itself All Nippon Airways Company in December 1957, and the merger with Far East Airlines followed in March 1958. ANA is the abbreviation. | The name is simply descriptive: Japan Airlines identifies a Japanese national carrier, and the abbreviation JAL comes from the English words Japan Air Lines. The archive's 1959 logo spells it "Japan Air Lines", while the current mark reads "Japan Airlines". |
