Iberia officially included to the joint business between Japan Airlines, British Airways and Finnair

Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has granted an extension of the anti-trust immunity to include Iberia in the joint business between Japan Airlines, British Airways and Finnair, allowing the four airlines to cooperate commercially on flights between Europe and Japan. Iberia is expected to join the existing joint business between the other three airlines as from October 18, 2016, when it will start its non-stop operations between Madrid and Tokyo. Its addition to the joint business will provide customers with a larger network, more flights, better connections and more frequent flyer benefits. The revenue-sharing agreement will strengthen the oneworld alliance and enable it to compete more effectively around the world with other global alliances.
