Maybe Jal must revise his connection policy, long ago I had launched an idea to Finnair to connect his A350 on NGO, I then read about a couple of months later that Finnair in the summer 2019 season is adjusting operational aircraft on Helsinki - Nagoya route, which sees the airline moves from Airbus A330 to Airbus A350-900XWB.
There is simply very little demand to fly NRT-NGO, hence only 2 flights a day on JAL and ANA each. The vast majority of passengers would simply fly directly to NGO if there is a flight available, such as from HEL, or take the train from Tokyo or Osaka. When the shinkansen opened (in 1964!) it pretty much replaced flying for all Tokyo-Nagoya travel.

What do you want JAL to do for you, considering that there simply are no other NRT-NGO flights to change to?
