JAL and BA extend codeshare cooperation

JAPAN Airlines (JAL) and British Airways (BA) have added Rome, Milan, Bologna, Amsterdam and Warsaw to their list of codeshare destinations from October 28.

As part of the arrangement, JAL will place its flight indicator on BA-operated services between London and these cities, boosting the number of destinations codeshared between the two oneworld alliance members to 32 within Europe.

The deal between JAL and BA is an extension of their joint business agreement signed earlier this month (TTG Asia e-Daily, October 1, 2012).

The previous codeshare arrangement covered 27 European destinations served by BA, as well as JAL's flights on 17 routes originating from Tokyo's Narita and Haneda airports to 14 international and Japanese destinations.
