Nomura"If there is only one carrier, it will not be good in terms of the antitrust law and competition," Himeno said, adding that
JAL and rival All Nippon Airways Co should compete with each other to keep airfares low and provide passengers with more choices.
Makoto Murayama, senior analyst at Nomura Securities Co., pointed out people who can only use JAL from their local airports also need the carrier to continue operations. The struggle at Japan's largest has spread overseas. American Airlines parent AMR Corp., may team up with private equity fund TPG Inc to invest at least ¥300 million in
JAL, aiming to keep
JAL in the oneworld alliance, while Delta Airlines Inc of SkyTeam alliance also wants to bring
JAL to their alliance.
