Japan Airlines Reshapes Jetstar Japan Ownership as Qantas Plans Exit and DBJ Joins

Japan Airlines Co ( (JP:9201) ) has provided an announcement.

Japan Airlines has signed a memorandum of understanding with Development Bank of Japan to consider DBJ joining as a new shareholder in its equity-method affiliate Jetstar Japan, as Qantas Group plans to exit by transferring all of its shares and Tokyo Century Corporation remains a shareholder. The move aims to reconfigure Jetstar Japan’s ownership to better align decision-making with the Japanese aviation market, leverage DBJ’s experience in aviation finance and management, and support a brand transition and growth strategy that includes creating new synergies with JAL, expanding the international network, and capturing inbound demand, with the company expecting no significant impact on its consolidated financial results and targeting completion of the share transfer and brand transition by June 2027.
