Japan Airlines (JAL) will start code sharing on flights operated by Vietnam Airlines (VN) between Fukuoka and Hanoi from October 27, 2009, with reservations and ticket sales starting today.

Vietnam’s sustained high economic growth has continued to attract many foreign investments including from Japanese enterprises, and as a tourist destination, has also been gaining popularity for its unique heritage, art and culture. To meet the rising demand for both business and leisure travel, JAL has been expanding its reach to Vietnam.

JAL operates flights from Tokyo (Narita) to Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi, as well as on the route between Osaka (Kansai) and Hanoi. Current code share flights with Vietnam Airlines, which first started in April 1996 with the Osaka (Kansai) – Ho Chi Minh route, also connect passengers from Fukuoka to Ho Chi Minh and Nagoya (Chubu) to Hanoi. Including the new twice-weekly Fukuoka-Hanoi code share service, JAL’s network to Vietnam now spans 7 routes, offering passengers 35 round-trip and 8 one-way* flights a week.

TOKYO September 10, 2009 – Star Alliance members Air China and All Nippon Airways will commence a code-sharing agreement on flights operated by both airlines between Beijing Capital International Airport and Tokyo’s Haneda Airport from October 25 this year.

Beijing is the fourth city to be included in the international destination line-up from the normally domestic-only Haneda Airport, joining Seoul, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Thanks to the proximity of Haneda airport to the centre of Tokyo, customers of Air China and ANA travelling between the capitals of both countries will enjoy shorter and more convenient journeys.

Air China will put its code on the daily flight of ANA, while ANA will put its code on the twice daily flights of Air China on this route, giving customers the choice of three daily Air China or ANA flights between Beijing and Haneda. Furthermore, thanks to the membership of Air China and ANA in Star Alliance, customers will also enjoy reciprocal mileage accrual and redemption, as well as lounge and other benefits where applicable.

With this agreement in place, both airlines will offer between them 106 weekly flights between Tokyo and Beijing, and a total of 271 flights per week between Japan and China.

The code-sharing flights will operate on the following schedule from October 25

*from January 16 – March 27, 2009 NH 1285/ CA 6708 dep time 10:30 (arr 12:35); NH1286/ CA 6707 dep time 16:40 (arr 21:00)

*Starts one day later, on October 26
