ONEWORLD: Member elect JAL to become single Japan Airlines International from 1 October

Member elect Japan Airlines will be a single operating company from 1 October, when its present two operating companies, JAL International and JAL Domestic, are unified to form the single Japan Airlines International.

The change will complete the merger of the former Japan Airlines and Japan Air System, which began four years ago, giving the group much bigger domestic presence.

Combining the two operating companies will achieve greater efficiency and cost reduction by eliminating duplication and improving intra-company communications.
