JL's strategy has been bilateral tie-ups, which are, in my view, quite extensive.

As of June, JL maintains either codeshares, ffp reciprocity or cargo alliance with 19 carriers:

- five of the eight oneworld carriers
- five of the 13 Star Alliance companies
- two of the Qualiflier carriers
- AF
- CP
- AZ
- JD (Japan Air System)
- MH
- VN
- NW --> the latest addition.
