JAL expands code sharing agreement with Fuji Dream Airlines

Japan Airlines (JAL) and Fuji Dream Airlines (FDA) first announced their intention to cooperate in January 2010. They reached their first code sharing agreement in Feburary to cover the Shizuoka routes withdrawn by JAL. Now both airlines have reached an agreement to expand their code sharing to include flights to Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport (MMJ), another airport JAL going to withdraw from on June 1 2010.

Below are the new codeshare flights operated by FDA with E170.

Matsumoto - Fukuoka (1 daily)
FDA201/JL3546: 13:35-15:05

Fukuoka - Matsumoto (1 daily)
FDA202/JL3543: 07:40-09:05

Matsumoto - Sapporo (Chitose) (1 daily)
FDA211/JL2854: 09:35-11:05

Sapporo (Chitose) - Matsumoto (1 daily)
FDA212/JL2855: 11:35-13:05

Tickets sale started on April 1. Seems like code sharing with FDA is the new solution for JAL so that they can keep the destinations in their route map. The problem is not every route is served by FDA :(
