Combined with its daily Tokyo Haneda – Taipei Taoyuan rotation, Peach will offer four daily flights between Tokyo and Taipei during the timeframe above.
Similar to Osaka, Peach serves Narita – Taipei Taoyuan alongside several other low-cost and full-service airlines. Separately, Tigerair Taiwan offers Haneda – Taoyuan flights, and ANA, JAL, China Airlines, and EVA Air offer Haneda – Taipei Songshan flights.
Peach will operate both routes using a mix of Airbus A320-200 and A320neo aircraft. While the former is equipped with 180 seats, all in economy class, the latter is equipped with 188 seats.
ANA, the low-cost airline’s parent company, said “Peach will also consider launching new [international] routes in the future,” when announcing its revised schedule for the second half of fiscal year 2024. At the same time, it was also revealed that Peach will be cutting back its Osaka Kansai – Hong Kong service from October 2024.
