JAL, AA Begin Joint Sales from Japan to North America

February 1, 2011

Japan Airlines and American Airlines have announced the implementation of the next phase of their joint business through joint selling in Japan beginning Feb. 1, 2011. The two airlines have more closely coordinated most of their Business Class and Economy Class carrier-filed fares for North America-bound flights originating from Japan effective April 1, 2011, the day the airlines commence their trans-Pacific joint business.

As a result of the two airlines’ tighter relationship and closer coordination, it should now be easier for customers to benefit from carrier-filed discount fares for itineraries using both airlines, as well as a combination of different classes of service. Some, but not all, combinations of carrier-filed fares within Economy Class will also now be available.

Through American’s route network in North America, JAL will increase the number of destinations available for sale to some 200 cities in that region which American continues to sell. Similarly, in the near future from North America, the joint business is expected to increase the number of Asian destinations that American can sell, and that JAL will continue to sell.
