From Saturday June 29 Japan Airlines will start a new four times weekly nonstop service between Tokyo and Hanoi in a code share operation with partner Vietnam Airlines. Opening the new route to the Vietnamese capital city reflects increasing demand in the Japanese market for business and tourism traffic to Vietnam.
JAL, in cooperation with Vietnam Airlines, inaugurated Japan-Vietnam flights in November 1994 on the Osaka-Ho Chi Minh City route. Service to Ho Chi Minh City from Tokyo started in November 2000.
In the current Japan-Vietnam network there are 10 code share flights per week on the Tokyo-Ho Chi Minh route (4 operated by JAL, 6 operated by Vietnam Airlines) and on the Osaka-Ho Chi Minh City route there are 7 code share flights per week (3 operated by JAL, 4 per week operated by Vietnam Airlines).
