AA and JAL Strengthen Cargo Relationship

Japan Airlines and American Airlines have embarked on a closer cooperation aimed at strengthening international cargo operations for the two airlines.

The agreement, concluded earlier this year, provides cargo customers with more routing choices, new destinations, and increased cargo capacity by more effectively utilizing the combined worldwide network of both airlines, covering some 300 distinct destinations worldwide, while maximizing the value of their combined routes between Asia, the United States, and Latin America.

The two airlines have begun using Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, New York and Honolulu as key transfer points for cargo traffic in the United States and Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya as transfer points in Japan.

The new synergies between the carriers' express products will now provide seamless transfer of express shipments between the airlines. Shipments which do not exceed 100kg will now receive immediate confirmation of space on both airlines, when customers select JAL's J-PRIORITY and American's EXPEDITESM product for the routing.
