JAL reaches an agreement with NCA

Japan Airlines (JAL) and Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA) have agreed on a partnership to start operation of code share cargo flights from March 29, 2009.

The agreement will start from March 29, 2009, with code-share flights between Narita, Tokyo and Chicago and Los Angeles. Subject to approval from the relevant authorities, JAL and NCA are both looking into

expanding the agreement in the near future, to cover routes such as New York, Seoul and Shanghai.

JAL currently operates freighter-only flights on 27 routes worldwide with 70 flights per week, and with this code share agreement, the number of cargo flights a week increases to 75.

In the continuous effort to improve customer service, JAL hopes to increase customer choice through this code share partnership with NCA, enhancing the network already operated by JAL and other code sharing

tie-ups.
