New leadership of JAL, Kazuo Inamori, Chairman of the Board revealed his opposition for JAL to change its alliance membership from One World to Sky Team.
JAL management is tilting to reflect Inamori's opinion and will announce Delta Airlines to discontinue their talks on joint venture within this week.
Inamori and new president K. Onishi had expressed their statement to review the selection of joint venture partners from 'blank sheet' again as they assumed their positions in early this month.
Grounds of Inamori's opposition to change alliance membership are seemingly financial and business reason, and he fears to see extra costs of changeover as well as decrease in sales if JAL joins Sky Team. He rather prefers to see recovery of JAL operations by keep staying at One World alliance.
