JAL is granted anti-trust immunity for its JV with American Airlines

JAL-Japan Airlines (Tokyo) like ANA has gained anti-trust immunity to move ahead with its trans-Pacific joint venture with American Airlines (Dallas/Fort Worth). On October 22, the application submitted by JAL in June 2010 for anti-trust immunity with the Oneworld Alliance partner was approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan (MLIT).

Following the formal signing of a new Open Skies agreement between the United States and Japan and upon obtaining the final DOT order, JAL and American will enter into a joint business agreement as two independent airlines, enabling each carrier to cooperate commercially on routes between North America and Asia.
