Alliance

JAL Express (JEX) was a Japanese regional airline operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Airlines (JAL). Founded in 1997 and based in Osaka, it primarily served domestic routes within Japan, complementing JAL's broader network. The airline operated a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft on short-haul domestic routes, focusing on secondary routes that supported JAL's mainline operations. It functioned as a low-cost carrier unit within the JAL group, helping the parent company compete more efficiently on price-sensitive domestic segments. JAL Express was merged into JAL's mainline operations and effectively ceased to exist as a separate entity in October 2014, when it was absorbed into Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. as part of a broader restructuring of the JAL group.
