Peach transports 7 millionth passenger to date

Peach welcomed (02-Dec-2014) its seven millionth passenger on 24-Nov-2014, since launching operations in Mar-2012. Commenting on the achievement, CEO Shinichi Inoue said "the most important thing for developing an LCC business in Japan, in addition to expanding operational routes, is to secure revenue at an early stage and build a concrete business foundation." Peach posted profits 25 months following the commencement of operations in Mar-2012, proving its business model works. The carrier currently operates 10 domestic and six international routes with Okinawa Naha Airport serving as a second hub in addition to Osaka Kansai Airport. Peach is scheduled to open its second international route from Naha Airport to Hong Kong in Feb-2015. [more - original PR - English/Japanese]
