QANTAS AND JAPAN AIRLINES JOIN FORCES TO SUPPORT TOURISM RECOVERY

Qantas and Japan Airlines (JAL) have announced plans for a new five-year agreement, which would bolster travel between Australia, New Zealand and Japan once international flying resumes.

The joint venture will deliver substantial benefits for customers and help to accelerate the recovery of the tourism industry by:
  • expanding the codeshare relationship on flights between Australia and New Zealand and Japan, including 15 new codeshare destinations in Australia and New Zealand for JAL customers
  • enhancing frequent flyer benefits for Qantas and JAL customers
  • improving customer experience, including upgraded product and services inflight and on the ground
  • delivering more choice for customers by developing new and improved travel products through coordinated pricing, schedules, sales and tourism marketing.

Additionally, Qantas and JAL have flagged the introduction of a new route between Australia and Japan and expect to announce details once regulatory approval is received, with a decision expected within the next six months.

Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce said: “Around half a million people visited Australia from Japan in 2019. We want to see that tourism resume and grow even further by making it easier for Japanese travellers to visit.”
