Taipei, Sept. 3 (CNA) China Airlines (CAL), one of Taiwan’s leading international carriers, said Monday it will expand its code sharing arrangement with Japan Airlines to include some of the Japanese carrier’s domestic flights.

Starting Tuesday, CAL and Japan Airlines will launch code sharing cooperation for seven routes operated by the Japanese airline domestically in a bid to provide passengers with better services.

The seven internal flights to be included in the code sharing agreement are the Sapporo- Niigata, Sapporo-Hanamaki, Fukuoka-Miyazaki, Fukuoka-Hanamaki, Fukuoka-Amami, Kagoshima-Amami and Kagoshima-Tokunoshima routes.

In 2017, CAL and Japan Airlines launched code sharing services for all flights between Taiwan and Japan. Since then, CAL’s round-trip flights between the two countries have risen from 180 to 230 a week.    [FULL  STORY]
