This allowed NW to serve the KIX/NGO-SPN markets without basing aircraft at either end, and serve KIX/NGO-USA markets without flying aircraft from USA into KIX/NGO.
I don't believe any airline (Japanese or otherwise) operates these "international" domestic flights anymore. The last one I know of was DL284 operating NGO-NRT but I believe they halted that three years ago. JL did the same thing with their flights.
