ZIPAIR removes "Z" from tail

ZIPAIR has announced it will adjust its livery, removing the large "Z" from its tails. Starting 18 June 2022, the "Z" will be covered by a few rows of dotted lines and as of December, the tails will be painted completely with rows of the dotted lines. The airline is making this adjustment as the letter "Z" has become the symbol of the Russian invasion in Ukraine.

The low-cost, long-haul, brand of Japan Airlines announced the change while also announcing it will launch flights between Tokyo-Narita and San Jose (CA) in December 2022. Next to this destination, the airline also flies from Narita to Bangkok, Honolulu (HI), Los Angeles (CA), Seoul and Singapore. ZIPAIR does this with a fleet of four B787-8s.
