Japan Airlines and Vietjet has signed a partnership agreement to offer customers more convenience and enhanced quality of operations and services.
With the rapid economic growth in Vietnam, demand for air travel between the two countries has been growing strongly. JAL is already operating daily non-stop services between Tokyo (Narita) and Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi respectively, as well as between Tokyo (Haneda) and Ho Chi Minh City.
The two airlines have agreed to start codeshare cooperation for all flight services between Japan and Vietnam as well as the domestic flights of both airlines. Vietjet’s domestic flights, as well as flights between Vietnam and the other Asian countries will also be included. These add-ons are expected to create more customer convenience.
The two airlines will further explore opportunities to develop partnerships in various areas, including a frequent flyer partnership, aircraft operations, and maintenance, as well as ground handling services and training.
“Japan is our key market as we expand the airline’s flight network in the Asia-Pacific region,” says Luu Duc Khanh, managing director of Vietjet. “The partnership between Vietjet and JAL will diversify our air transportation products and the market segment while stimulating the movement of people between the two countries as well as developing the two airlines’ relationship in line with our international commercial operation capabilities in the coming time.”
