So first part of the enhance partnership is done. Second part is ATI between Japan and the UK. According to the press release, JAL and BA are studying that possibility. Hopefully this won't turn into another NYK negotiation which broke off last month.
oneworld partners Japan Airlines and British Airways are in discussions to further augment their bilateral partnership beyond codeshare arrangements, details of which will be announced as soon as developments are finalized. Customers of the alliance-partners can be certain to look forward to exciting new products offered in the near future.
