Japan Airlines' LCC = low-cost carrier "Zip Air" announced that it will start operating passenger flights between Narita Airport and Los Angeles from next month.
This is the first time that a Japanese LCC has launched a flight to the continental United States, and as Japan and the United States ease entry restrictions from this month, they want to stimulate air traffic demand.
International LCC "Zip Air" held a press conference on the 12th and announced that it will start operating passenger flights between Narita Airport and Los Angeles in the United States from the 25th of next month.
Zip Air is the first Japanese LCC to enter service on a continental United States route.
With Japan and the United States effectively relaxing immigration restrictions on the 8th of this month, Zipair anticipates demand from traffic such as business and temporary return, as well as automobile and semiconductor parts, and to further increase profits. It also transports freight such as fresh food and operates three round trips a week.
While major airlines have significantly reduced their hiring due to the corona wreck, Zipair has hired 100 flight attendants and has been promoting new international routes in anticipation of after-corona.
Shingo Nishida, president of "Zip Air," said, "We expect to increase profits through freight transportation and recover air traffic demand in both Japan and the United States by easing border measures, so we hope that it will be used not only by people in Japan but also overseas. I was talking.
