Japan Airlines (JAL) also operated a special "Ikemen Flight" between Haneda and Kagoshima on May 5, 2009, with all eight flight attendants aboard classed as "good-looking male attendants," according to a public relations official at the airline.

After receiving positive feedback from "Ikemen Flight" passengers, JAL is considering running the flight again in the future.
