Phase one of the comprehensive partnership includes:

• Access to 36 domestic and 11 international destinations (subject to government approval) within JAL’s network, as well as all Japan-Hawai‘i flights.
• Access to Hawaiian’s robust Neighbor Island network of approximately 170 daily flights.
• Hawaiian Airlines inclusion into JAL’s JALPAK offers guests more options on tour packages between Japan and Hawai‘i beginning Monday, April 2.
• Ability to earn HawaiianMiles and JAL Mileage Bank credit on codeshare flights, including non-stop flights between Honolulu and Nagoya and Sapporo.
• Reciprocal lounge benefits.
• Convenient connections and an improved guest experience following Hawaiian’s relocation to Terminal 2, adjacent to JAL, at Tokyo Narita Airport beginning Sunday, March 25.

Hawaiian, the largest U.S. carrier for service between Japan and Hawai‘i, has carried over 3 million guests via its gateways in Haneda and Narita, Sapporo and Osaka since launching service in 2010. JAL, the No. 1 carrier on the route, transported over one million travelers between Japan and Hawai‘i in 2017.

JAL and Hawaiian plan to further enhance their partnership by creating a joint venture through an antitrust immunity agreement. The carriers anticipate filing their request with the U.S. Department of Transportation and Japanese authorities next month.
