Peach Aviation, also known simply as Peach, is a Japanese low-cost airline operating out of the Kansai International Airport in Osaka. It was first founded in February 2011, and during its first year of operations, was the most successful out of 3 Japanese budget airlines, edging out Jetstar Japan and AirAsia Japan.
Today, you’ll spot their planes dressed in a pink, purple, and white colour scheme serving 7 countries; these include China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and come December, Singapore.
