MSN321. Wow when you think about it thats nearly halfway through the total orders the A350 has. So it would be quite possible to order more aircraft now and get them delivered before 2020 I guess just could?
How does options work? Do they have a set year (or a future msn slot) they would be expected to be delivered or only once firmed then they find what ever non assigned msn.

JAL strategy with a350: www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/57756-jal-to-build-high-capacity-widebody-fleet-around-a350s"JAL - Japan Airlines (JL, Tokyo Haneda) is planning to eventually consolidate its high-capacity widebody fleet around the A350 airline president Yoshiharu Ueki has said. JAL ordered eighteen A350-900s and thirteen A350-1000s from Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) in 2013 with options for a further twenty-five aircraft. Deliveries are expected to begin during JAL's 2019 Financial Year (April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020) at about which time they will begin replacing the carrier's extensive fleet of B777s - twelve B777-200s, eleven B777-200(ER)s, four B777-300s, and thirteen B777-300(ER)s. Speaking in Tokyo this week, Aviation Wire quoted Ueki as saying that there are currently no plans to introduce widebodies other than A350s; neither the A380-800 nor the B777X family in particular which has been rumoured given JAL's existing B777s. According to the executive, JAL's current fleet make-up of six types is a legacy of its pre-2010 bankruptcy days but that is being changed in favour of a more streamlined, if economical, approach. Eventually, the fleet will consist of A350s in the large category, B767-300(ER)s (200-250 seaters) and B787s (150-200 seaters) in the medium-sized niche, and B737s for its narrowbody requirements. "There are no plans to put any other large aircraft, other than the A350, into our on large-sized aircraft niche," he added."

Their B767 are in average 11 years old & 9 of it are >15 years, gonna need look to look for replacement soon. A350-8/900 would be too big, A330neo a good candidate?

At first I was thinking the B787 would probably replace part of them (the B767s), but wikipedia tells me there are still 32 B767s in service apparently, for only 12 B787-9 left due..... (while still JAL's B789s' capacity is below that of their B767s......).....

JAL can use its 767s many more years. Currently, there is no perfect replacement, unless a capacity increase is needed (A330s are much larger). If however Boeing was to launch its NMA/MOM/797, then JAL might be interested.
