To celebrate the restart of Haneda-Honolulu flights in late 2010, JAL teamed up with the Hawaii tourist office to promote the flights. Both sides of the plane were only slightly different. The "
Waku Waku Aloha Program" was a free program that allowed JAL passengers to experience Hawaiian culture such as hula lessons and Hawaiian quilt creation.
JA8981 was JAL’s very first 777, delivered in February 1996 as "Sirius" in the Star Jets series. The aircraft was also the first JAL 777 to be retired in 2014 after 18 years flying domestic Japan services.
