Japan Airlines has signed a new agreement that will increase the number of connections it offers to Brazil.
The codeshare partnership with Brazilian carrier TAM will enable JAL to sell tickets for flights on TAM’s international routes to Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro. This will allow JAL passengers flying from Tokyo to New York, London, Paris or Frankfurt, to continue onwards to Brazil with TAM.
Once in Brazil, passengers will then be able to fly from Sao Paulo to 12 domestic destinations, or from Rio to nine Brazilian cities, including Brasilia, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Manaus, Recife and Iguazu.
“We are pleased to offer our customers more routes and destinations with our new codeshares with TAM Airlines,” said Hideki Oshima, JAL’s executive officer for international relations & alliances. “The new cooperation also allows JAL to strengthen its presence in this ever-growing market.”
JAL and TAM are partners in the oneworld alliance, and the latest codeshare agreement adds to JAL’s existing arrangement with another oneworld member, American Airlines, which allows JAL to sell the US carrier’s routes to Sao Paulo and Rio from New York, Los Angeles and Dallas.
