JAL Expands Jetstar Codeshare on Osaka - Cairns Route

Japan Airlines is to expand its codeshare agreement with Jetstar Airways (JQ) from 1 April 2010, when it will place its ‘JL' indicator on JQ-operated flights between Osaka (Kansai) and Cairns - a once-daily service commencing the same day.

JAL and Jetstar have been bilateral partners since May 2007 and currently codeshare on flights operated by the latter between Tokyo (Narita) and Cairns.

Fares issued by JAL for JQ-operated codeshare flights will be for economy class only, inclusive of meals and soft drinks. Alcoholic drinks and additional refreshments will be available for purchase onboard.

JAL currently operates 1 daily flight between Tokyo (Narita) - Brisbane, and 1 daily flight on the Tokyo (Narita) - Sydney route on which the airline's award-wining seats - the JAL Shell Flat seat in business class and the JAL Sky Shell seat in premium economy, are available.

Reservations and ticket sales of the new codeshare flight start today (Thursday, 25 March 2010).
