TOKYO, October 7th, 2014 - ANA today announces that it will further improve access to Brazil for its passengers through an increase in code-share flights with TAM Airlines.
*An application for governmental approval is currently being screened
ANA already offers a code-share flight with TAM that carries passengers to Brazil’s commercial capital Sao Paulo via London. Two new code-share flights to Sao Paulo will be added from October 26, one departing Paris and the other departing Frankfurt. The new code-share flight via Paris will be particularly convenient as passengers from Japan will be able to transfer smoothly between flights without leaving the airport’s Terminal 1. The new code-share arrangements with TAM are in addition to ANA’s existing code-shares to Brazil with its Star Alliance partners United Airlines and Lufthansa. ANA will also put its code on 5 additional routes beyond São Paulo. |
