On trans-Pacific routes, Japan Airlines (JAL) and American Airlines operate a joint venture. On trans-Atlantic routes, American Airlines, British Airways, Iberia, Finnair, Aer Lingus, and LEVEL operate a joint venture.

Over the coming months, the airline expects to obtain approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation, antitrust immunity, and approvals from relevant authorities.
