Special 747 version for domestic flights. In the background the construction site for the new terminal and the beautiful Mount Fuji

The 747-400D (Domestic) is a short range version with dense seating and slightly shorter wings without winglets. It was developed for flights within Japan and was - until the introduction of the Airbus A380 - the aircraft with the highest seating capacity in the world (568 in typical configuration). Only 19 aircraft of this short-haul variant were built, of which eight went to JAL and eleven to ANA.

Delivered new 1st June 1993 , to N896DB 20th Dec 2010 and ferried RJAA-PANC-KARG 20th-21st Dec 2010 for scrapping

Climbing out after a Rwy 34R departure. Note the lack of winglets on the -400D series. Their weight penalty exceeds any aerodynamic benefits on a typical short Japanese domestic sector.

Climbing out after departure from rw32L. Actually the photo is a bit deceptive, the mountains/obstructions are not nearly as close as they appear

Note the lack of winglets, common for Japan's short-range 747-400s.
