Malaysia Airlines and Japan Airlines have signed a memorandum of understanding to pursue a joint business agreement to improve the quality of services provided by both carriers.
Both airlines said an application had been filed to Malaysian Aviation Commission and Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, seeking exemptions and immunity from antitrust laws. Currently, MAS operates a 12-time weekly service, while Japan Airlines operates a seven-time weekly service, representing a total 19 times weekly flights between Kuala Lumpur-Tokyo.
