Low-cost airline AirAsia Japan relaunches with Nagoya-Sapporo flights twice daily

Singapore

LOW-COST airline AirAsia Japan on Monday said that it would begin its first flights from Nagoya later this month, more than two years after Malaysia's AirAsia Bhd announced plans to re-enter the Japanese market with new partners.

A prior AirAsia Japan joint venture with Japanese carrier ANA Holdings Inc was dissolved in 2013 and used as the basis for the launch of ANA subsidiary Vanilla Air.
