Japan Airlines sticks with oneworld. Major victory for American Airlines, British Airways and Qantas
Japan Airlines (JAL) today announced its highly anticipated alliances decision. It has turned away from Delta and SkyTeam to strengthen its existing partnership with American Airlines. The carriers, both members of the oneworld alliance, will jointly apply to the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Ministry of Land Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan (MLIT) for antitrust immunity (ATI) approval on transpacific routes.
