Peach Aviation Limited (“Peach”; Representative Director and CEO: Takeaki Mori) resumed service today on all 22 domestic routes after 70 days since the suspension started at some routes. Peach had suspended 13 domestic routes due to the spread of novel coronavirus, but it resumed service from Okinawa (Naha) to Fukuoka on June 1, and the other 12 routes were resumed today.
Today at Kansai Airport, CEO Takeaki Mori saw off one of the resumed flights from Osaka (Kansai) to Kushiro and expressed his gratitude toward healthcare professionals, local governments of the destinations and other related communities, and the customers. Mori said, “Peach is implementing thorough infection control measures at airports and in cabins so that our customers can travel by air with peace of mind. In addition to supporting the resumption of social and economic activities as a public transport provider, we are also wishing to lead the revitalization of regional economies. With the support of the local governments of the destinations and other related communities, we will continue our operation with safety first.”
For the purpose of taking counter measures to prevent infections, Peach requests customers to wear masks and refraining from boarding when their health conditions are not well.
All remaining flight reductions will be discontinued on July 22*1, and flights on some routes will be increased after August 1, just in time for the busy season. Peach will balance thorough infection control measures with flight operation and stimulate the revitalization of regional economies.
