STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS
On 16 August, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism granted an extension of anti-trust immunity to enable Iberia to join the existing joint business between Japan Airlines, British Airways and Finnair. This will allow the four airlines to cooperate commercially on flights between Europe and Japan. Iberia is expected to join from October 18, 2016 when it will start its non-stop services between Madrid and Tokyo.
On 17 August, Vueling and Qatar Airways launched a codeshare agreement which allows seamless connectivity via the airlines' common gateways of Barcelona El Prat and Rome Fiumicino. The agreement links Vueling's European network with Qatar Airways' global network of more than 150 destinations. This codeshare agreement builds upon the interline agreement signed between the two carriers in October 2014.
On 19 August, British Airways announced a codeshare agreement with Shanghai-based carrier, China Eastern Airlines. British Airways will gain access to the domestic Chinese market as it will start selling flights to Kunming, Xi'an, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Chongqing on a BA flight code. China Eastern Airlines will sell British Airways flights to Aberdeen, Belfast City, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Newcastle on their MU flight code.
This announcement contains inside information and is disclosed in accordance with the company's obligations under the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014.
