'''J-Air''' <!--Please refrain from adding the Japanese name to this section, as it have already been clearly specified in the Infobox.

The airline has a fleet of 35 aircraft, consisting of [[Embraer E-Jet family#E170|Embraer 170]]s and [[Embraer E-Jet family#E190 and E195|190]]s linking tier-two and tier-three cities in Japan as to bypass JAL's congested hub in Tokyo (both [[Narita International Airport|Narita]] and [[Haneda Airport|Haneda]]).
J-Air is a wholly owned [[subsidiary]] of Japan's [[flag carrier]], Japan Airlines (JAL) and an affiliate member of the [[Oneworld]] alliance. The airline was founded on 8 August 1996, when JAL restructured JAL Flight Academy and J-Air was separated; and began operations as a separate entity from [[Hiroshima-Nishi Airport]] on 1 November. Faced with limited opportunities for route expansion at Hiroshima, the airline relocated to its new home at [[Nagoya Airfield]], after the opening of [[Chūbu Centrair International Airport]], on 17 February 2005. In the [[fiscal year]] ended 31 March 1999, J-Air, together with its sister airlines within the JAL Group, carried over 32 [[million]] passengers and over 1.1 million [[ton]]s of [[cargo]] and [[mail]].{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}}

JAL Flight Academy (JFA) was established by [[Japan Airlines]] (JAL) in April 1991, as a flight training school [[subsidiary]] based at Omura Airport, [[Nagasaki Prefecture|Nagasaki]]. It provided conversion training for its [[flight engineer]]s to become [[aviator|pilot]]s. In April 1991, a new division of JFA was created to operate scheduled services to succeed the troubled ''Nishi Seto Airlink'' services, a commuter airline serving cities in western [[Japan]]. Since the introduction of the 19-seats [[Handley Page Jetstream#British Aerospace Jetstream 31|Jetstream 31]]s (JS31) in September 1991, the aircraft progressively replaced the [[Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante]] inherited from ''Nishi Seto''.<ref name=hist>{{cite press release|title=JAL Subsidiary Airlines|url=http://www.jal.com/en/press/2000/012001/012001.html|publisher=[[Japan Airlines]]|date=2000-01-20|access-date=2009-09-09}}</ref><ref name=ayumi>{{cite web|script-title=ja:ジェイ・エアのあゆみ|trans-title=J-Air's Progress|url=http://www.jair.co.jp/about/ayumi.html|language=ja|publisher=J-Air|access-date=2009-09-09}}</ref><ref name=FI040323>{{cite news|title=J-Air|url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/2004/2004-09%20-%200211.html|format=PDF|page=89|work=[[Flight International]]|publisher=[[Reed Business Information]]|date=2004-03-23|access-date=2009-09-12}}</ref>
In August 1996, JAL Flight Academy was restructured, J-Air was separated and established as a wholly owned regional subsidiary [[airline]] of Japan Airlines on 8 August. On 1 November, the airline inaugurated its first flight from [[Hiroshima-Nishi Airport]] and was building up service on smaller-demand domestic routes, which larger aircraft could not serve economically. However, the [[local government]] [[subsidy]] was terminated at the end of the 2000 [[fiscal year]] and the airline was required to become self-sufficient. As part of its domestic [[marketing strategy]], JAL found a [[niche market]] where the 100-plus-seats [[Boeing 737]]s were too large and frequent services were in demand, and began repositioning the airline. Fifty-seats [[Bombardier CRJ200]]s were introduced and progressively replaced the five JS31s until completion in August 2003.<ref name=hist/><ref name=ayumi/><ref>{{cite news|title=Other News|url=http://www.atwonline.com/news/archive/index.html?issue=jan0305|work=ATW Daily News|publisher=[[Penton Media]]|date=2005-01-07|access-date=2009-09-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120311084551/http://atwonline.com/news/archive/index.html?issue=jan0305|archive-date=2012-03-11|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Despite the introduction of the CRJ200s, there were limited opportunities for route expansion from its home at [[Hiroshima-Nishi Airport]]. The airline decided to move to [[Nagoya Airfield]], after the opening of [[Chūbu Centrair International Airport]]. On 17 February 2005, J-Air formally relocate to its new home at Nagoya Airfield. In order to strengthen the recognition of the JAL brand and improve customer convenience, the airline disposed its own flight numbers and changed to JAL flight numbers from 1 April 2005. At the same time, it formally ended flight to Hiroshima-Nishi which has been the airline base for almost 9 years with the last flight to Miyazaki.<ref name=ayumi/><ref>{{cite press release|title=JAL Group Subsidiary J Air Flight Numbers to Change to JAL|url=http://www.jal.com/en/press/2004/122701/122701.html|publisher=[[Japan Airlines]]|date=2004-12-27|access-date=2009-09-10|archive-date=2021-11-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122081052/http://www.jal.com/en/press/2004/122701/122701.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The aircraft will be used for linking tier-two and tier-three cities in Japan as to bypass the airline's congested hub in Tokyo.

== JAL Mileage Bank ==
{{further|Japan_Airlines#JAL_Mileage_Bank}}
== Historical liveries ==
{{unreferenced section|date=February 2024}}
J-Air had many liveries over the years. In the following order:
=== 1991 to 2002: J-AIR livery ===
A fusion of the J-AIR letters with a red square separating the 'J' and the 'AIR' titles, and a grey band feature on the fuselage.
=== 2002 to 2011: Arc of the Sun livery ===
After [[Japan Airlines|Japan Airlines (JAL)]] and [[Japan Air System|Japan Air System (JAS)]] merged, the Tokyo office of Landor and JAL worked together again to create a new brand identity. Landor devised a livery referred to as the "Arc of the Sun". The 2000s rebranding began in April 2002 and was completed in April 2004. The brand identity firm designed 300,000 specific items for JAL. The JAL acronym remained, but it was changed to include a curved bar, which replaced the simple red square and gray rectangle used from 1989 (1991 For J-AIR). The curved bar was likened to a samurai sword. The tail now featured a quarter sun outlined in silver. JAL changed its branding again on 1 April 2011, reverting to the original 1959 brand, with slight modifications, as part of their post-bankruptcy rebrand.
=== 2011-Present: Tsurumaru J-Air livery ===
The J-Air livery is called the ''tsurumaru'' (鶴丸) or "crane circle." It is an image of a Japanese [[Red-crowned Crane|red-crown crane]] with its wings extended in full flight. The Tsurumaru logo of its parent (Japan Airlines) was created in 1958 by Jerry Huff, the creative director at Botsford, Constantine and Gardner of San Francisco, which had been the advertising agency for Japan Airlines from its earliest days.
