The national carriers of Japan and Taiwan will start codesharing on all every flight they operate between the two countries.
Effective 21 February 2017, the partnership between Japan Airlines (JAL) and China Airlines (CAL) will be expanded from 28 to 240 flights a week.
New codeshare routes will connect Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport with 13 Japanese cities (Sapporo, Toyama, Tokyo, Shizuoka, Nagoya, Osaka, Takamatsu, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Kagoshima, Miyazaki, Naha and Ishigaki), Kaohsiung with five Japanese destinations (Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka, Kumamoto and Naha), and Tainan with one Japanese city (Osaka).
The two airlines started codesharing in 2010, on the Tokyo Haneda-Taipei Songshan route.
