Anybody think there a suitable canditate to join Skyteam? Would give Skyteam a boost in Japan? @:-)

A domestic LCC seeking to break in to the market of TYO-NYC/FRA/LON. :eek:

I'll believe it when I see it. In the mean time, deliveries are 3 years out and there isn't really a huge need for domestic connectivity in Japan for SkyTeam. I'm also willing to bet that they don't have the infrastructure in place to even consider joining an alliance at this point.

I agree with the previous post. We can discuss this question again in no earlier than 5 years.

I see it as a possibility, since Skymark and Delta have entered into FF agreements and such from the below article:

Delta excludes over the Atlantic routes to Tokyo, except on very high fares (full fares). What will Delta do with LHR-NRT and FRA-NRT flights? It would give Skymiles members in LHR and FRA markets a non-stop means to get to NRT.

It will very extremely expensive ticket. This is not real specific time at all. They cannot afford it at all. Why can't have a real cheaper the reasonable fares? I wasn't one of them. If there is enough cheapest the lower fares. It will no guaranteed can do that.
