This familiar scheme is that of Japan Airlines, Japan's flag carrier.
Well into the 21st century, JAL has expanded beyond the atmosphere, and their space fleet primarily consists of XR2J. The XR2J is an export model of Altea Aerospace's XR2 Ravenstar, license-built in Japan. This production model features cleaner aerodynamics to reduce parasite drag, more use of advanced lightweight composites, and a redesigned APU exhaust; it is a true passenger spaceplane.
This package, in addition to the skin, features two extra scenarios: passenger flights from either of two equatorial spaceports to the European Space Station (Ess) in an ecliptic orbit. These require the following add-ons:Ess station
Wideawake International
Jarvis Space Centre
These futuristic spaceports and destination are just a taste of a world of regular space tourism with the XR2 Ravenstar.
To use this skin in your own scenarios, add:

to the Ravenstar's configuration saved in the scenario.
