Japan Airlines (JAL) and All Nippon Airways (ANA) have unveiled coordinated winter timetables for their domestic flights, marking their first-ever collaboration on a domestic route. The flight schedules for late October, revealed on Tuesday, demonstrate how the two airlines will avoid overlapping flights to enhance service convenience and attract new customers.
The adjusted timetables aim to improve the profitability of their domestic flight services. In the previous winter season, JAL's flights from Tokyo's Haneda Airport to Okayama Airport departed at 8:05 a.m., while ANA's flights left at 7:45 a.m. However, following the new adjustments, ANA's flights will now depart at 7:25 a.m., while JAL's flights will take off at 8:20 a.m.
In May, an expert panel established by the transport ministry released a report suggesting that such flight schedule adjustments would not violate antitrust laws, provided certain conditions are met.
