Aeromexico and Japan Airlines announce codeshare agreement

Aeromexico and Japan Airlines have agreed to launch a codeshare partnership in next year. Aeromexico started its Mexico City - Tokyo Narita service in 2006 with two weekly services via Tijuana, being the only Latin American carrier with direct flights to Asia and, since March 2017 Aeromexico offers daily service on this route.

Japan Airlines currently serves eight Mexican cities through a codeshare via Los Angeles and Dallas Fort Worth, and will increase by offering twenty destinations with its partnership with Aeromexico between Tokyo Narita and Mexico City, as well as routes connecting Los Angeles with other Mexican cities through their domestic network. The codeshare should, in theory, lead to a better customer experience, such as mutual lounge access and frequent flyer mileage accrual and redemption.

 Japan Airlines is part of the Oneworld frequent flyer alliance while Aeromexico is a member of the SkyTeam loyalty network.
