Korea’s Jin Air signs interline deal with Jetstar Group

Jin Air has signed a codeshare agreement with Jetstar Group to offer combined route bookings across both carrier’s networks. The two LCCs will offer what they call “seamless travel packages” across both networks that include Jin Air’s existing Korea-based network and the services of Jetstar Airways, Jetstar Asia, Jetstar Japan and Jetstar Pacific. This will be the first interline agreement that Jin Air has entered into with any other carrier, and will allow Korean passengers significantly easier access into the Southeast Asian destination market. Jin Air has been expanding its route offerings across the Asia-Pacific region including to Guam, Hawaii, Okinawa and Saipan. Both carriers have begun work on combining booking and systems interlocks, and aim to launch the full codeshare program in Q3 2016. <br/>
