In the second half of 2023, Air Japan, a new low-cost airline, is to be launched. The ANA subsidiary, which will be launched in addition to the main brand and Peach, will focus on opening up further foreign markets.

Actually, the Japanese start-up should have been in the air for a long time, but during the corona pandemic it was decided to temporarily slow down the project. The background was also that Japan has been practicing strict entry and quarantine regulations for a long time, which most non-residents could not even meet. In the second half of 2023, however, the time has come and with Air Japan an additional low-cost airline of the ANA Group is to become active.

In terms of price, they want to keep up with cheap competitors, but they want to stand out from the competition with improved service and good comfort. Neither the mainline ANA nor the sister company Peach want to compete, but Air Japan should focus specifically on new foreign markets. One throws a special eye on the traffic towards Japan.

The core ANA brand will increase its capacity to approximately 2025 percent by fiscal 105 compared to fiscal 2019. ANA and Peach will develop their flight plans in a coordinated manner, as well as flexibly adapt routes and flights to passenger demand. The group's fleet will be expanded to exceed pre-Corona levels by fiscal 2030. It will then have a fleet of 100 Boeing 787s with a higher proportion of small and medium-sized aircraft. In parallel with the recovery in demand, the fleet for international routes and the proportion of fuel-efficient aircraft will be expanded.
