Korean Air has concluded a code-sharing partnership with Japan Airlines on all routes between their two countries. Under code sharing agreements, airlines sell tickets on each others¡¯ carriers, a measure that gives passengers more flights to choose from and increases the number of air miles they can collect.
Korean Air said Thursday its president Lee Jong-hee and JAL Seoul branch manager Toi Masaki agreed to share codes on major flight routes between Incheon and Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya from March 26 and on all routes between the two countries by October.
The number of flights shared by the two airlines will increase from 14 a week to 49 once the agreement is implemented in late March, including seven flights between Incheon and Tokyo, up from four, five between Incheon and Osaka, up from three, three from Incheon and Nagoya, up from two, and two between Busan and Nagoya, up from one.
From Oct. 29, the two companies will share all 185 flights a week by Korean Air and 70 JAL flights. In future, the code sharing agreement is to cover other international flights they operate.
