Japanese Hybrid Airline Air Japan Launches Direct Incheon-Narita Route

ANA Holdings' Mid-Haul Brand
"Intermediate Nature Between ANA and Peach Aviation"
Second International Route Identified as Korea

Japan's largest airline, All Nippon Airways (ANA), has launched its 'sibling' brand in Korea for the first time. ANA Holdings, the parent company of ANA, announced on the 15th that its new medium-haul international flight brand, Air Japan, will begin operating routes between Incheon International Airport and Tokyo Narita Airport starting February 22 next year.

The route will operate two flights per day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The operation period is from February 22 to March 30 next year. The aircraft deployed will be a Boeing 787-8 with 324 seats. Prices (for adults, excluding airport fees and fuel surcharges) vary depending on the fare. The Simple fare is 75,500 KRW, Standard is 99,100 KRW, and Select starts from 118,900 KRW. Checked baggage up to 23 kg is provided free of charge starting from the Standard fare.

ANA Holdings owns the FSC (Full-Service Carrier) ANA and the LCC (Low-Cost Carrier) Peach Aviation. Air Japan mainly operates medium- to long-haul routes and aims to provide services that combine the quality of an FSC with the convenience of an LCC.

Hideki Mineguchi, CEO of Air Japan, said, “The launch of the Incheon-Narita route is another significant milestone, and this achievement clearly reflects Air Japan’s commitment to providing customers with innovative, thoughtful, and flexible travel.”

He added, “Incheon Airport is a convenient hub connecting various flights, so we expect steady year-round demand from passengers departing from Japan and those heading to overseas destinations. We are making efforts to meet changing global travel preferences, and we are proud to expand travel options for passengers while maintaining ANA Group’s unwavering standards of quality, service, and safety.”
