Osaka 24 April, 2023 – Peach Aviation Limited (Peach; Representative Director & CEO: Kazunari
Ohashi) announced today that the cumulative number of passengers since its launch on March 1, 2012
has exceeded 50 million on April 24, 2023.

Peach has been expanding its routes at the fastest pace of any Japanese airline since our establishment in 2012 as the first Japanese LCC under our “Flying Train” concept. Peach started with two domestic routes toand from Kansai International Airport, and now, on its 11th anniversary, we operate a total of 37 routes, 28 domestic and 9 international, from seven different airports. In addition to domestic and short-haul international flights, in 2022 we will also enter the medium-haul international market, which is our long-cherished goal, and our wings will spread far and wide across the skies of Asia. In addition to providing easy, low-fare transportation, we have also taken on the challenge of making air travel more accessible through exciting projects such as the “Bullet Round-Trip Fare” for overseas travel with zero overnight stay, the “Peach Unlimited Pass” for unlimited rides on domestic flights, and the “Travel Lottery” for enjoying travel where the destination is not chosen, even in the difficult circumstances of the Coronavirus pandemic, thereby changing the concept of travel to something completely new.

Today, the total number of passengers exceeded 50 million, and a commemorative event was held at Kansai International Airport to express our gratitude to all passengers who have flown with us and supported us. Passengers on flight MM212, the Okinawa (Naha) – Osaka (Kansai) route, were given commemorative Senshu towels in the arrival lobby, and the chosen 50 millionth passenger received Peach points worth 50,000 yen and Peach goods. The passenger commented, “I have flown Peach about 40 times since the second year of service, but I never thought I would be the 50 millionth passenger. Next time, I would like to go to Niigata, which is the only place I have yet to visit from Kansai”.

Toshiyuki Naba, General Manager of Corporate Planning Departmen who has been involved with Peach since before the launch of our first flight, said, “For about three years since 2020, we had some difficult times due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but with the support of many people, we were able to continue operations while creating various measures unique to Peach. I am reminded once again that we could not have reached this day without the support and thoughts of everyone who had high expectations for Peach and the many customers who have flown with us. We would like to thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts. Now that inbound consumption is on track to return to pre-pandemic levels, we will continue to ensure safe operations and, as a bridge between Asia and Japan, we hope that even more people from Japan and abroad will visit the Osaka-Kansai Expo in 2025 to help enliven the country”.

In addition, starting today, April 24, at 8:00 p.m., the “Over 50 Million Passengers! OOKINI Sale” will be held for both domestic and international visitors to enjoy. For this sale, domestic one-way fares will start at 2,525 yen and international one-way fares will be on sale at 10% off, not only Simple Peach fares but also Value Peach fares. The “Over 50 Million Passengers! OOKINI Sale” tickets will go on sale from 8:00 p.m. on April 24 to 7:59 p.m. on April 27, and will be available for domestic flights from May 9 to October 28, and for international flights from May 8 to October 28. 27 domestic routes and 10 international routes are eligible.

As Peach celebrates its 11th anniversary and has welcomed over 50 million passengers, we will continue to pursue “Ordinary is no fun” by returning to our original intention, with safety as our top priority. As a public transportation service that connects various regions, we will work together with local residents to help them feel the excitement of flying to a new world, and we aim to be a company that is loved by customers as well as to encourage the recovery of inbound travel.
