Company Profile

Peach is a low-cost airline based in Japan. Its head office is on the fifth floor of Kensetsu-to. Peach is an airline that began services in March 2012 with a completely new concept. Based on the idea of a ‘flying train’, and making possible what had previously seemed impossible in the Japanese aviation industry, Peach develop air routes back-to-back at the fastest speed ever to continually expand their business. What Peach is aiming for is to become a ‘bridge for Asia’. To enable everyone to travel casually at modest fares and create a world filled with happiness and warm smiles by bringing people together is the dream of Peach Air. To become a ‘bridge for Asia’, Peach was selected as a ‘Global Growth Company’ in the World Economic Forum in 2012. In 2015, Peach became the first airline in northeast Asia to receive the title of ‘LCC of the Year’ from the Centre for Aviation (CAPA), a major global aviation think tank. This affirmed the unique value of Peach Airlines, not only in Japan but also in Asia and on the global stage. In recent years, Peach Airlines have initiated collaborations with top Japanese artists and world-class auto makers and the appreciation to its value is widely spreading. Five years have passed since Peach first appeared on the Japanese aviation scene, and the company has only just entered the beginning of a new era. Although initially noticed for its modest fares as Japan’s first LCC, Peach will take a step ahead of the price competition. While maintaining affordable fares, Peace will embrace the slogan ‘from price competition to value creation’ in order to differentiate the experience flying Peach beyond the conventional framework of airlines and continue to cultivate demand in the ever-growing Asian market. Peach will continue to move forward to realize its dream to become a ‘bridge for Asia’.
