ANA Group has grounded its low-cost airline AirJapan, with the brand to be axed from April.
The former charter airline was rebranded in 2022 as All Nippon Airways’ LCC arm, and has been operating flights from Tokyo to Bangkok, Singapore, and Seoul.
However AirJapan’s parent company is now restructuring its multi-brand strategy, which also includes another LCC, Peach Aviation; it is not yet known what will become of this airline.
“This decision is aimed at maximising the entire group’s profitability and competitiveness while flexibly responding to recent changes in the business environment,” ANA Group said.
AirJapan currently operates a fleet of just two Boeing 787-8s, and had two more on order.
