Japan Airlines (JAL) and Korean Air are expanding the already extensive codeshare relationship they have on flights between the two countries. Korean has far more routes than JAL between South Korea and Japan, and the latest deal means all of these will now be included in the codeshare. The 10 additional flights include six from Seoul Incheon, three from Busan and one from Jeju, covering eight Japanese destinations. They are all Korean Air flights, and will be added to the codeshare beginning April 22 or April 26.
