Japan Airlines has no plans to cancel its Boeing 787 Dreamliner order.

The airline doesn’t intend to cancel deliveries of 777s and 767s either even though JAL is considering cutting international routes as much as 10 percent, reports Reuters.

“We have no plans to cancel the 787. We are patiently waiting”, JAL Vice President Tetsuya Takenaka rold Reuters.

JAL has orders for 22 787-8 jets and 15 787-3.

Also today, Korean Air ordered two more Airbus A380 super jumbo jets. The order brings the A380 lifetime order tally to 200. Korean Air has ordered 10 A380s.
