JAL to launch low-cost carrier with Qantas unit

[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] Airlines Corp (JAL) will enter the low-cost carriers market through a joint venture with Australia's Jetstar group, and launch domestic flights next year, Nikkei reported.
The venture will be capitalized at 10-20 billion yen ($123.8-$247.7 million), with JAL and Jetstar, a Qantas Airways subsidiary, holding 30 percent stakes each, the daily said.
A decision on which company will have management control will be taken later, the business newspaper said.
Mitsubishi Corp and Toyota Tsusho Corp have been invited to invest in the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], which JAL and Jetstar aim to finalize next month, Nikkei reported.
The new discount airline -- expected to eventually fly international routes -- may serve Tokyo's Narita airport, which is expanding its landing slots, the business daily said.
Osaka's Kansai International Airport and Central Japan International Airport outside Nagoya both of which operate around the clock, are also in the fray, the report said.
JAL took a variety of restructuring steps after filing for bankruptcy in January 2010, including reducing the number of routes, the newspaper said.
Although it logged a record consolidated operating profit of 188.4 billion yen for fiscal 2010, the company's revenue and profit are likely to plunge this year as a result of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] said.
JAL had kept its distance from the low-cost-carrier market, with Chairman Kazuo Inamori saying the airline would differentiate itself by offering a high level of service, the report said

AirAsia and ANA to form low-cost carrier in Japan

Malaysia's [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) have agreed to form a low-cost carrier based in Tokyo's Narita Airport.
The joint venture will be named AirAsia Japan, with AirAsia owning 33% voting shares and 16% non-voting shares through its wholly owned subsidiary, AA International. ANA will hold the remaining 51% stake.
AirAsia Japan will help serve the highly lucrative domestic travel market, the Malaysian carrier said in a statement.
"Air travel is deeply entrenched in the social and business life of the Japanese, even under a high cost environment," the statement said.
"Both ANA and AirAsia firmly believe that AirAsia Japan will be a success as the Japanese market possesses the necessary ingredients for growth, such as the population's strong propensity to travel, its high per capita income coupled with deep and significant internet penetration," the statement added.
The AirAsia brand is established in the Japanese market and has gained further traction since the company's long-haul low-cost operation, [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], started its services to Japan early this year, according to the statement.
Under the agreement, AirAsia and ANA have agreed not to compete against AirAsia Japan.
However, this clause does not apply to Peach Aviation, ANA's low-cost carrier subsidiary based in Osaka's Kansai International Airport. Peach is expected to start its services next year.
The agreement also states that Peach is not permitted to locate its base at Narita.
AirAsia Japan will serve the domestic Japanese market and northeast Asian countries such as South Korea, Taiwan and China.
In addition, AirAsia is planning to extend its services into southeast Asia through its existing network there.
Apart from AirAsia's Malaysian operations, the low-cost carrier also operates in Indonesia and Thailand, with a virtual hub in Singapore.
The airline has also announced plans to set up joint ventures in the Philippines and Vietnam, where services are expected to begin at the end of the year.
AirAsia Japan has applied for an air operators certificate (AOC) from the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau.
Both AirAsia and ANA have not said when they plan to begin operations.
Qantas subsidiary Jetstar operates long-haul low-cost services into Japan from Australia, while its Singapore-based carrier Jetstar Asia also plans to begin services to Tokyo

Donc la décision est prise avec (33 + 16) % pour AirAsia et 51 % pour ANA une base à Narita. Mais cette nouvelle LCC sera différente de Peach. Un oeu compliqué à gérer pour ANA ! Non ?

Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) says that its joint venture with [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] offers the "most efficient" option for the start-up of a low-cost airline based in Tokyo's Narita International Airport. [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

AirAsia Japan, which aims to begin operations in August 2012, will be 51% owned by ANA. It will be the first low-cost carrier to be based in Narita, the airlines said in a statement.

Recent developments such as open skies agreements and increased competition from road and rail-based travel have led to the "rapid transformation" of the Japanese airline market, said ANA.
In addition, Narita aims to increase its capacity with a new terminal that should attract low-cost carriers and foreign airlines, added the Star Alliance carrier.
"ANA concluded that partnering with an existing low-cost carrier is the most efficient and strategically advantageous option," said the airline.

AirAsia Japan leverages on AirAsia's successful business model and brings together the complementary strengths of the two companies, it added.
"We believe that AirAsia Japan will make air travel more accessible and provide a convenient and efficient travel option for a wide range of people," said Shinichiro Ito, president and CEO of ANA.

AirAsia will own 33% voting shares in the joint venture and 16% non-voting shares through its wholly owned subsidiary AA International. AirAsia has been seeking a business partner with strong Japanese market influence to expand its network for some time, said the Malaysian carrier.
"AirAsia Japan will be a success as the Japanese market possesses the necessary ingredients for growth, such as the population's strong propensity to travel, its high per capita income, coupled with deep and significant internet penetration," said AirAsia.

The joint venture helps the company to penetrate Japan's "highly lucrative domestic travel market", it added.
"This new joint venture is an important milestone in AirAsia's growth as ANA is the very first airline partner to form a joint venture with AirAsia," said Tony Fernandes, group CEO of AirAsia.
AirAsia has announced plans to set up joint ventures in the Philippines and Vietnam, where services are expected to begin at the end of the year.
