Trans-Pacific Joint Business Agreement
In February, 2010, American Airlines and Japan Airlines (JAL) filed an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for antitrust immunity to forge a closer relationship and implement a joint business agreement governing the operation of their flights between North America and Asia. On October 6, 2010, the DOT issued a Show Cause Order granting American Airlines and Japan Airlines tentative antitrust immunity approval and permission to operate a joint business across the trans-Pacific. American and JAL will coordinate fares, services and schedules and by more closely integrating their networks, the airlines will continue to offer customers reciprocal frequent flyer benefits, and eligible customers will continue to have access to the airport lounges of both airlines. Through the joint business, the two airlines will offer a fully integrated network between trans-Pacific gateway airports, ensuring all customers a robust global airline alliance from which to choose, and more options for time-sensitive business travelers. Antitrust immunity between American and JAL is made possible by the Open Skies accord reached by the United States and Japan in December 2009.
