일본 최대의 항공노선 「전 일본 공수」(ANA)과 유럽의 리딩·항공노선 「루프트한자·독일 항공」(Lufthansa)은, 일본과 유럽간 네트워크에 관한 전략적 제휴(JV)에 대해서, 관계 당국으로부터 ATI의 인가를 취득했다.ANA는, 4월부터 유나이티드 항공(UNITED)과 함께 태평양 네트워크에 관한 JV를 개시하고 있지만, 이것에 의해 일본과 유럽간 네트워크에 대해서도 JV의 실시가 가능해졌다.
ANA와 Lufthansa는, 금년의 겨울부터 JV를 실시할 예정.이미 양 회사는 공동운항을 실시하고 있지만, 향후는 공통 운임·공동 판매·공통 다이어를 실시해, JV가 양 회사의 고객에게 있어서 혜택이 되도록(듯이) 최대한의 노력을 도모한다.
전 일본 공수의 이동신 이치로 대표이사 사장의 코멘트는 이하와 같다. 「파트너인 Lufthansa와의 전략적 제휴에 대해서, 당국보다 이해를 받아, 감사 말씀드립니다.유럽과 아시아를 연결하는 루트에서는 처음되는 JV를 통해서, 운임이나 탑승편의 선택사항을 다양화해, 고객에게의 서비스를 충실시키는 것과 동시에, ANA의 국제 경쟁력을 높여 가겠습니다.」
ANA, Japan’s largest airline, and Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Europe’s leading airline, are announcing that they are launching a strategic joint venture with each other on Japan-Europe routes after ANA receiving Anti-Trust Immunity (ATI) approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Transport. This latest agreement between the two Star Alliance members follows the launch of a similar joint venture between ANA and United Airlines on trans-Pacific routes in April.
The joint venture with Lufthansa will improve the level of service offered to passengers by allowing ANA and Lufthansa to work together on schedule coordination and joint product sales. Customers will benefit from seamless transfers and better connections. The two carriers aim to introduce the new joint venture within the 2011 winter timetable.
Christoph Franz, Chairman of the Executive Board & Chief Executive Officer Deutsche Lufthansa AG, said: “This approval marks a great step forward for our customers. Optimised flight schedules will better enable them in future to plan their trips between Japan and Europe. We look forward to this opportunity to consolidate our cooperation with ANA, which signifies a further milestone that will bring the two economic areas closer together. After the tragic earthquake, the go-ahead for our joint venture is a sign that Japan is looking to the future.”
