All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. ("ANA") (LSE: ANA) today filed an application with
the Japanese Government for antitrust immunity to launch a joint venture with
Lufthansa German Airlines ("Lufthansa") on routes between Japan and Europe,
allowing the two carriers to bring substantial benefits to passengers by
creating a more efficient and comprehensive service across their networks.
Subject to approval of the application by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism, ANA and Lufthansa will be able to jointly manage their
Japan-Europe operations in areas such as scheduling, pricing and sales. This
will give customers a greater choice of connections and a wider range of fare
and service options.
"By forging this closer cooperation with one of our partner airlines in the Star
Alliance, we will significantly enhance our ability to serve customers
throughout Europe and offer new choice and convenience for passengers. We are
looking forward to our application being approved," said Shinichiro Ito,
President and CEO of ANA.
"With today's application for a joint venture, we are deepening our
long-standing partnership with Star Alliance member ANA. This step comes on the
heels of the 50th anniversary of the first Lufthansa flight to Japan and the
150th anniversary of the signing of the first German-Japanese treaty of
friendship," said Christoph Franz, Chairman of the Executive Board & Chief
Executive Officer Deutsche Lufthansa AG. He added, "The joint venture, which is
subject to government approval, will send a good signal to our customers in
Japan and Europe."
