What to expect
Peach (Peach Aviation) is a Japanese low-cost airline based at Osaka Kansai International Airport. It was founded on 10 February 2011 as A&F Aviation, a joint venture of All Nippon Airways and First Eastern Investment Group, took the Peach name in May 2011 and flew its first service, Kansai to Sapporo New Chitose, on 1 March 2012. ANA held 77.9% by 2018 and bought the last 7% from First Eastern Aviation Holdings in December 2024, making Peach a wholly owned subsidiary.
How Vanilla Air became part of Peach
ANA announced on 22 March 2018 that it would fold its other budget brand, Vanilla Air, into Peach, and Vanilla Air stopped flying on 26 October 2019. That merger is why the airline also keeps bases at Tokyo Narita, Sendai and Okinawa Naha. Peach introduced a refreshed brand and livery from 1 April 2026, so both old and new colours will be seen at airports for a while.
Osaka to Bangkok
Thailand has a single entry on the Peach map: Osaka Kansai to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. Peach opened the route in December 2022 and has put it on sale again for the 2026 winter timetable, which runs from 25 October 2026 to 27 March 2027. Kyoto, Nara and Kobe are all within easy reach of Kansai airport by rail. See Bangkok to Osaka flights and Osaka to Bangkok flights for every airline on the route.
Peach and ANA have codeshared since August 2021. Outside Japan, Peach also flies from its Japanese bases to Seoul, Taipei, Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Shanghai Pudong and Singapore. It has no Bangladesh route; from Dhaka, Biman Bangladesh Airlines, US-Bangla Airlines and Thai Airways reach Suvarnabhumi (see Dhaka to Bangkok flights), where the Peach service to Osaka departs.
Growing pains and firsts
A pilot shortage in summer 2014 forced Peach to cancel more than 2,000 flights, about 16% of its capacity. In May 2017 it became the first Japanese airline to accept bitcoin. The network kept widening after the pandemic: Osaka to Singapore was scheduled from December 2024 and Seoul Gimpo was added for the 2025 summer season. By July 2026 the fleet stood at 40 aircraft.

Habits that keep a Peach trip to Japan cheap and stress-free.
-
01
Connect at Suvarnabhumi
Peach leaves from Suvarnabhumi, where most international flights arrive, so there is no cross-city transfer to Don Mueang.

02
Pick the fare for the return
A Minimum fare can work outbound, but Japan trips tend to end with heavier bags. Pricing the return on Standard often costs less than adding a bag later.
Minimum vs Standard -
03
Keep the QR code handy
Peach check-in runs on the QR code from your itinerary or your six-character reference. Save it offline before you reach the terminal.

04
Arrange the visa first
Book a flexible Standard Plus fare, or wait to book, until your Japanese visa is approved. A Minimum fare cannot be changed if the visa is delayed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Everything travellers ask before flying Peach.
Answers checked against Peach’s official sources and public aviation references, and reviewed each season.
General
Yes. Peach runs a nonstop service between Bangkok Suvarnabhumi and Osaka Kansai, and the route is on sale for the winter 2026 to 2027 timetable. Compare it with other carriers on the Bangkok to Osaka page.
Bangkok, Seoul, Taipei, Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore.
Two items: one bag plus one personal item, with a combined weight of 7 kg. Each must stay within 50 x 40 x 25 cm and the three sides must add up to no more than 115 cm.
Both include seat selection and one checked bag. Standard Plus adds the right to change the flight and to claim a refund, which helps if your Japan dates are not fixed.
Yes. Peach is a wholly owned ANA company and the two airlines codeshare, but Peach sells its own fares, rules and extras, so ANA full-service benefits do not apply on a Peach ticket.
Peach advertises app check-in for its domestic Japanese flights. For the Bangkok service, plan to check in at the airport using the QR code on your itinerary or your six-character booking reference, and arrive early.
Yes. Kyoto is around an hour or so from Kansai airport by rail, so many visitors fly into Osaka and spend part of their trip in Kyoto, Nara or Kobe.
Peach flies only Airbus narrow-bodies: the A320-200 with 180 seats, the A320neo with 188 seats and the A321LR with 218 seats. The type for your flight appears when you book.
Vanilla Air was another ANA budget airline. It merged into Peach and stopped flying in October 2019, and its routes and Narita base passed to Peach.
Peach is headquartered in Izumisano, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. Its main hub is Kansai International.
Getting there
Suvarnabhumi (BKK), not Don Mueang.
Food and drinks are sold on board rather than included, which is normal for a low-cost carrier. Eat at Suvarnabhumi or bring snacks that are allowed through security.
Peach uses the IATA code MM and the ICAO code APJ. Its radio callsign is AIR PEACH.
What's included
It depends on the fare type. Minimum carries no checked bag, while Standard and Standard Plus each include one. You can add a bag to a Minimum booking for a fee.
Visa & documents
It depends on your passport. Check the requirements with the Japanese embassy that covers your country well before booking, because Peach can refuse boarding without valid documents.
