KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines and Japan Airlines are set to launch a joint business structure, in 2020, following a decision from the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) to grant an individual exemption and Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to grant anti-trust immunity.
 
In a joint statement today, both airlines said the agreement for joint business would allow the two carriers to co-operate commercially on flights between Malaysia and Japan and deliver customers more benefits by providing additional flight choices, a larger network, better connections and an enhanced frequent flyer programme.
 
Malaysia Airlines chief executive officer Captain Izham Ismail expressed confidence that this partnership will enable the carrier to deliver important benefits to its customers and to grow the business between the two countries.
 
“We thank MAVCOM for their extensive review and trust in both Malaysia Airlines and Japan Airlines,” he said.
 
Meanwhile, Japan Airlines president Yuji Akasaka said the company expects to launch this joint business relationship in 2020 to provide additional travel benefits for both airlines’ mutual customers.

Mavcom for what? Waste of public fund to maintain this kind of government agency which have limited function and not that they can make the aviation industry more better. It can easily absorbed under the transport ministry
