MESSAGE
from the CEO

Thank you very much for your continued patronage and support of Air Japan.

Our company was established in 1990 as an ANA Group company operating international charter flights. In 2000, we changed our name to Air Japan and began a fresh start as an airline operating regular international passenger flights. Since then, the company has continued to expand as an airline operating a portion of ANA routes to and from Asia. In February 2024, we launched operations under our own brand called AirJapan based on our experience operating flights under the ANA brand, with our company being neither an FSC (full-service carrier) nor an LCC (low-cost carrier).
Unfortunately, due to the changes we have seen in terms of the global situation and the environment surrounding the airline industry, we suspended AirJapan flight service as of the end of March 2026. Looking ahead, with an eye toward the expansion of flight slots at Narita Airport, we will focus on operating flights under the ANA brand and further expand our network, primarily on our existing routes in Asia and Oceania.
Drawing on the experience we have accumulated across both brands, we have continued the daily operation of flights with the aim of providing customers with superb and unwavering safety and qualitythat have been our hallmarks since our founding. We will continue to do so going forward and humbly ask for your continued support and guidance as we move forward into the future.
