"Infant Mark" of the airline that informs children. Voices of support from overseas
An effort by a Japanese airline is gaining attention in overseas media and SNS. JAL has been arguing about the service that informs the seats of passengers with young children on the seat selection website.
Since 2013, Japan Airlines has been offering a service on the seat selection site that displays a sign called “Infant Mark” on the seats of passengers with children under the age of three.
About this initiative, an American man praised the other airlines when he used Japan Airlines at the end of last month, saying `` Thank you for telling me where the baby will cry during the 13-hour trip ''. However, there was a big discussion on SNS.
Among these, while there are opinions in favor of parents with young children and those who want to relax in the cabin, there are also voices of doubts such as moving away from families with children and leading to discrimination.
In response to this, leading overseas media are also taken up in articles one after another, and they are attracting attention by telling them “Do you want to avoid children” and “Very Japanese options” to avoid disturbing others.
A spokesperson for Japan Airlines started with an opinion from a customer who originally had a small child, saying, “I want you to know that there are children around me.” I will continue to work on that. "
