Ier säin neien Nonstop Service tëscht Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) an Tokyo Narita International Airport (NRT) iwwerhaapt ugefaang huet, huet ZIPAIR Tokyo ugekënnegt datt et d'Frequenz op der neier Streck op fënnef wëchentlech Flich vum 11. Januar 2023 eropgeet.
Initial service begins on Dec. 12, 2022, with three weekly flights.
“ZIPAIR’s new, low-cost service connecting the capitals of Silicon Valley and Japan has already proved to be popular among travelers on both sides of the Pacific,” said SJC Director of Aviation John Aitken. “While we knew ZIPAIR planned to grow its Bay Area gateway in San José, the timing of this expansion reflects the strength of our market and the resurging demand for transpacific travel.”
ZIPAIR Tokyo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Airlines (JAL), offers passengers a fully customizable travel experience. The airline operates a modern fleet of Boeing 787 aircraft, with 18 full-flat seats and 272 standard seats. All passengers enjoy complimentary inflight Wi-Fi, as well as inflight food, beverages and shopping available for purchase through a unique, contactless mobile ordering system.
Initially, ZIPAIR will fly the San José – Tokyo route on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. From Jan. 11, it will add service on Wednesdays and Sundays. As previously announced, ZIPAIR intends to further expand its schedule to offer daily service later in 2023.
Promotional launch fares are still available for the carrier’s new San José service. Flight schedules are subject to relevant government approvals.
