Jul 25 (Nikkei) - Japan Airlines will partner with Vietjet Aviation to rebuild its presence in Vietnam, joining a trend of Southeast Asian collaborations between conventional and low-cost carriers.
The arrangement includes code-sharing and the ability to transfer reward miles accumulated on one airline to the other. They may also jointly operate routes Vietjet plans to launch as early as this year between Vietnam and Japan. Vietnamese destinations are likely to include such popular resort towns as Nha Trang, Da Nang and Phu Quoc.
