JAL and British Airways extend passenger code share flights from Narita

The JAL Group's Japan Airlines and British Airways have reached agreement to mutually expand passenger codes share flights from February 12, 2004.

From three points in Japan (Fukuoka, Osaka and Nagoya) British Airways will have a daily code share with JAL flights to Tokyo's Narita Airport. BA will also code share on one JAL flight daily from Narita to Seoul, Korea (Incheon).

In turn, JAL will have daily code shares on two British Airways routes between London Heathrow and Stuttgart and Hamburg in Germany.

In 1999 JAL and British Airways undertook to form a broad agreement for cooperation starting with linkage of their frequent flier programmes. The two carriers have operated joint cargo flights between London and Tokyo for almost 27 years (since 1977). This is now a three flights a week operation using JAL B747 freighter aircraft.
