Japan Airlines
(JAL) and Emirates (EK) have agreed to expand their code share partnership between
Japan and Dubai.
From
1 June 2006, the code share agreement, subject to government approval, allows JAL to
place its flight code on round trip flights operated by Emirates between Nagoya’s Chubu
International Airport, popularly known as Centrair, and Dubai International Airport. On this
day, Emirates will launch direct non-stop services four times a week – every Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday – between the two airports, expanding into a
daily operation from 1 July 2006.
The new code share agreement also includes JAL domestic connecting flights to and from Fukuoka and Sapporo
with smooth through check in with the JAL-Emirates Nagoya to Dubai operation.
Tickets for the new code share flights are expected to go on sale
today, 9 May 2006. The two airlines already code share on Emirates’ daily non-stop service between Kansai International Airport,
Osaka and Dubai, as well as on JAL domestic connecting flights operating between Kansai and Tokyo, Sapporo
and Fukuoka.
In addition to the code share flights, JAL and Emirates frequent flyer
programs (FFP) are linked, enabling members of the JAL Mileage Bank (JMB) and Emirates’ Skywards FFP to earn miles on each other’s
international flights.
