TOKYO March 12, 2015: Japan Airlines (JAL) and TAM Airlines (JJ), both members of the oneworld® alliance, announced today that they will begin a codeshare cooperation on 6 international and 21 Brazil-domestic routes starting March 25, 2015(*). JAL’s new codeshare flights with JJ, which are pending government approval, are in addition to the airline’s existing codeshare cooperation to the region with its oneworld and joint business partner American Airlines (AA). With the newly added codeshares, JAL customers will have even more seamless connecting service and improved access to and within Brazil.

“We are pleased to offer our customers more routes and destinations with our new codeshares with TAM Airlines,” said Hideki Oshima, JAL’s Executive Officer International Relations and Alliances. “The new cooperation also allows JAL to strengthen its presence in this ever-growing market.”

In addition to JAL’s current code share flights (operated by AA) to Brazil via New York, Los Angeles and Dallas/Fort Worth, the airline will offer codeshare flights operated by JJ via London, Frankfurt and Paris as well as New York. JAL will also provide codeshare service on JJ’s Brazil-domestic routes resulting in an increase of the number of Brazilian cities served from two to thirteen.

JAL Mileage Bank (JMB) members along with other oneworld alliance frequent flyer members flying on JAL’s new codeshare flights operated by TAM Airlines can earn miles and enjoy numerous other oneworld benefits (please see “Reference” at the bottom).

JAL’s strengthened relationship with JJ delivers more convenience to customers and the airline continues to embrace new challenges to become its customers most preferred airline in the world.
