THE new leaders of Japan Airlines said yesterday the carrier will decide on its alliance partner "as soon as possible" but wouldn't provide a time frame for a decision on sticking with American Airlines or shifting to Delta.
Speaking at his first press conference as president, Masaru Onishi said discussions were continuing within JAL and the company's stance was "neutral."
"Under new management, the company is seriously reviewing the issue from scratch, without being influenced by previous discussions," he said.
Japan's flagship airline filed for bankruptcy two weeks ago with US$25.6 billion in debt.
The carrier is now planning a massive restructuring under new leadership.
Their first major decision will be tough, picking an alliance with either Oneworld or SkyTeam.
American Airlines and Delta Air Lines are locked in a heated battle for JAL and its lucrative Asian routes.
