AirJapan (NQ) is a short-lived low-cost carrier launched by ANA Holdings as a medium-haul international brand. Established on March 8, 2022, and commencing operations on February 9, 2024, with its inaugural flight from Tokyo Narita (NRT) to Bangkok (BKK), AirJapan aimed to compete with rivals like JAL's Zipair. Headquartered at Narita International Airport in Chiba, Japan, it operated an all-economy fleet of Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners configured with 324 seats in a 3-3-3 layout, offering wider legroom (32-inch pitch) than typical LCC economy.
The airline's network focused on high-demand Asian routes from its NRT hub, including Singapore (SIN), Bangkok (BKK), and Seoul Incheon (ICN). As an ANA subsidiary, it featured codeshares with ANA, ANA Mileage Club accrual, and high safety standards. Services were hybrid-low-cost: buy-on-board meals, paid Wi-Fi, and streamable entertainment via personal devices—no seatback screens.
Passenger feedback highlights strong crew service, comfort, and value, with Kayak averaging 8.6/10 from limited reviews and a Skytrax 2025 ranking as the 8th best low-cost airline. However, ANA announced the brand's suspension by March 28, 2026, amid restructuring; aircraft and crew will integrate into ANA operations.
AirJapan distinguished itself with thoughtful LCC features like reclining seats and ANA reliability on modern Dreamliners, appealing to budget-conscious travelers seeking premium economy-like space on long-haul flights without frills.
