Fleets and networks are approximations for the prototype and are scaled to the model. Source: Japan Air Lines page (exact): 747 and DC-10 bought in the 1970s; first nonstop Tokyo to New York 747 flight on 17 March 1976; Japan Asia Airways formed 8 August 1975; moved its main international hub to Narita when it opened on 20 May 1978. Real fleet about 100 in 1976 (estimated). Domestic flying is not modelled so that the Narita move does not drag it along. Routes and finance are estimates.
