The airline was established as Japan Domestic Airlines (JDA) on 15 April 1964 through the merger of three feeder airlines: Nitto Airlines (founded 4 July 1952), Fuji Airlines (founded 13 September 1952) and North Japan Airlines (founded 30 June 1953). On 15 May 1971, JDA and Toa Airways (founded 30 November 1953)merged to become Toa Domestic Airlines, which in turn changed its name to Japan Air System on 1 April 1988. In 2004 the airline then merged with Japan Airlines and changed its name to Japan Airlines Domestic. JDA has 4,362 employees and owns shareholdings in the following airlines: Japan Air Commuter (60%), Hokkaido Air System (51%) and Amakusa Airlines (2%). It also has an alliance with Hainan Airlines. ^[1]
