| AIR JAPAN BOEING 787-8 JA801A (MSN 34488) |
All Nippon Airlines low-cost brand, AirJapan, will cease all operations at the end of today. Launched two years on the 9th of February 2024, the airline was created to serve medium-distance Asian destinations like Bangkok, Seoul, and Singapore using Boeing 787-8 aircraft. The final scheduled passenger services departed from Singapore and Bangkok to Tokyo Narita on the 29th of March 2026.
The closure is part of a restructuring plan by ANA Group to operate only two primary brands: the full-service All Nippon Airways and the low-cost carrier Peach Aviation. In an official statement, ANA Group explained the decision will help maximize profitability and competitiveness amid global aircraft delivery delays and supply chain problems.
"To optimise the allocation of the group's resources, ANA Group decided to suspend the AirJapan brand. Its aircraft and human resources will be consolidated into the ANA brand's operations to expand its international business," the company stated. The legal company of Air Japan will continue to function and will operate flights exclusively on behalf of the mainline ANA brand.
