A codeshare arrangement to connect Israel and Japan has been launched by an agreement between All Nippon Airways (ANA) and EL AL Israel Airlines (EL AL). Starting in Spring 2024, ANA will start operating flights on EL AL’s Tel Aviv-Tokyo Narita route under its “NH” code. This route was launched in March 2023. Later, EL AL would use its “LY” designation on a few ANA routes, such as domestic trips within Japan.

A Frequent Flyer Programme agreement between the airlines will also improve perks for mileage members travelling between Japan and Israel. The partnership includes premium customer advantages, reciprocal frequent flyer benefits, and premium customer services, all of which are available to members.

According to Shinichi Inoue, president and chief executive officer of ANA, “ANA is excited to start this partnership with EL AL and we hope that it will provide safe and convenient travel with greater opportunities for both business and leisure passengers between Israel and Japan.” The relationship, which has been improving in all areas for more than 70 years, will be further strengthened by this cooperation, which will also increase linkages and customer service between our nations.

Garuda Indonesia (GA) and Singapore Airlines (SIA) have made plans to form a joint venture that will strengthen their working relationship, boost passenger capacity between Singapore and Indonesia, and provide consumers with more options for traveling between the two nations.

Subject to regulatory approvals, the proposed joint venture will cover routes between Singapore and Denpasar, Jakarta, and Surabaya. This will expand on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that the two airlines signed in November 2021.

In order to improve the value proposition for customers, the carriers will also investigate the deployment of fresh ideas, such as combined fare goods and corporate program alignment.

“The joint venture agreement is also a part of our effort to improve our company’s performance through our network strategy by optimizing our network through partnership with our strategic airline partners, especially Singapore Airlines. With this initiative, both airlines agreed to further explore more advantages for both our customers, allowing them to enjoy various flight schedules with enhanced value services within the networks of Garuda Indonesia and Singapore Airlines.
