The Japanese airline was supposed to launch flights between the two cities in March 2020 but the plans were modified owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Japan Airlines had previously been making trips from Tokyo to Moscow Domodedovo before the pandemic. The airport switch to Sheremetyevo ( Moscow has 5 airports) was supposed to happen on 29th March,2020.

JAL also resumed San Diego service

However, this time, the schedule is a little bit different. JAL will operate flights between the Tokyo and San Diego 3-times-a-week rather than the initial daily service.
