From April 1, JAL will place its ‘JL’ designator on Qatar Airways routes from Doha to Amman, Ankara, Baku, Istanbul’s Ataturk and Sabiha Gokcen airports, Addis Ababa, Cape Town, Dar es Salaam, Durban, Johannesburg and Nairobi.

Separately, JAL will expand its codeshare with Alaska Airlines from May, by adding countless routes from Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco to U.S. domestic destinations, including Alaska flights to Austin, Boston and Newark.
JAL has been seeking a growing number of extra-alliance partners. Last year, the airline established cooperation deals with Aeroflot, Hawaiian Airlines and low-cost carrier, VietJet Air.
