Budget flights to launch in Japan
New budget flights will be available within Japan from next year following the launch of Jetstar Japan, a joint venture between Qantas, Japan Airlines and Mitsubishi Corp.
The airline will launch with three Airbus A320s towards the end of 2012.
It expects to fly from Tokyo (Narita) and Osaka (Kansai International), with other destinations under consideration including Sapporo, Fukuoka, and Okinawa.
Jetstar Japan also plans to ultimately offer short haul international services to key Asian cities.
Jetstar currently flies long haul A330 services from both Tokyo and Osaka to Cairns and the Gold Coast in Australia, and from Singapore (via Taipei) to Osaka with Jetstar Asia’s short haul A320 fleet.
