Japan Airlines (JAL) and ANA are considering flights between Tokyo and Perth.
JAL Chairman Masaru Onishi stated this in an interview in early December with Kyodo News.
Following this, Osamu Shinobe, President and CEO of ANA told Australian Business Traveller that Perth is a likely destination for the airline, is their new Sydney-Tokyo service is successful.
Qantas previously operated Perth-Tokyo services with Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, until 8 May 2011.
Like Qantas, JAL is also a member of the Oneworld airline alliance. ANA is a member of Star Alliance.
Japan is Western Australia’s second largest trading partner, but Perth currently has no direct flights to Japan.
I’ve heard on the news saying that the JAL is close to bringing the airline into Perth soon. Any new service would be a codeshare with QF that are owned by oneworld alliance. I believe that the route will be operated by a B787-8 with 42 Business and 144 Economy Class Seats.
