Peach’s mission is to continue to stably provide affordable air travel with low fares and to connect regions, with a priority on COVID-19 infection countermeasures. Furthermore, as we feel that it is important to simultaneously pursue both infection control and economic activity, we have recently introduced a trial program that allows access to some of our domestic routes after antigen testing. Peach will overcome the harsh environment surrounding the airline industry and establish a new style of travel that balances both infection control and economic activity.”
Going forward, Peach will continue to provide affordable travel at low fares as a bridge connecting regions and expand its network of flights, all while thoroughly implementing infection countermeasures. *Including the two routes announced today.
