JAL and Hainan Airlines Expand Code Share Agreement on Domestic China Routes

Japan Airlines (JAL) and Hainan Airlines (HU) have expanded their code share agreement to cover two additional domestic China routes.

The two airlines have code shared since 1 June 2005 on daily flights operated by Hainan Airlines between Beijing and Chengdu. From 10 April 2006, the new agreement allows JAL to also place its ‘JL’ flight number on the daily round trip flights operated by Hainan Airlines between Beijing and the cities of Kunming and Xian. Passengers can start making reservations on these flights from 7 April 2006.

The flights provide smooth connections in Beijing to passengers traveling to Kunming, Xian or Chengdu from Japan. Members of JAL’s frequent flyer program, the JAL Mileage Bank (JMB) can also accumulate mileage on these ‘JL’ designated flights.

Hainan Airlines and JAL have also been operating non-stop international code share flights between Kansai International airport, and Haikou in southern China since 31 October 2004.
