There is no mention of any joint marketing, code sharing or any services that a pax would see (other than irrop assistance). It sounds like it is primarily an aircraft procurement and marketing agreement, maybe to offset Ryanair and Southwest dominating the specs for next-generation A320/737 replacement. Presumably JQ and Air Asia need longer sectors than many of the other LCCs in the world, thus have different optimal designs.
