About Peach

Here is an introduction to Peach Aviation Limited.
Please take a moment to view a message from the CEO,
its corporate philosophy, history, and company overview.

Our concept is
“Flying train”

In March 2012, Peach became the first LCC in Japan and started the service on two domestic routes from its base at Kansai International Airport with only three aircraft, by developing its routes based on the concept of the “Flying Train”. We have been aiming to “become an airline that serves as a bridge across Asia to deepen exchanges of people, goods, and services, and to foster a love of humanity” by making air travel easy and affordable for everyone at competitive fares.

With seven airports (New Chitose, Sendai, Narita, Chubu, Kansai, Fukuoka, and Naha) as hubs, and a fleet of 33 aircraft, Peach now serves approximately 50 routes, and the airline has expanded its wings to include not only domestic and short-haul international flights, but also medium-haul international flights, expanding its reach into the skies of Asia.

Although the environment surrounding us has changed dramatically over the past few years, we believe that by promoting greater exchange of people, goods, and services, we can contribute to the revitalization of Japan and the rest of Asia and achieve sustainable economic growth.

After 11 years of service, we have achieved our goal of providing easy air transportation with high safety standards and low fares by reducing costs through a variety of creative ideas. We will now review the meaning of “best service” so that our customers will want to fly with us again and again, and we will strive to become an airline that they will enjoy and grow to love.

We hope you will look forward to Peach’s advance to a new stage from this point, carving out a new history.
