Japan’s Newest Airline A&F Aviation To Launch Services With A320s

Airbus Claims Second Major Market Success In Japan In Just Three Months

A&F Aviation, the new Japanese airline recently established by All Nippon Airways (ANA) and First Eastern Investment Group (First Eastern), has selected Airbus A320 aircraft to start low-cost services from Kansai International Airport, Osaka, in the second half of FY2011. A fleet of ten A320 aircraft, leased from GECAS, will seat 180 passengers each in a single-class layout. The jets will be powered by CFM International engines.

“This is a further breakthrough for Airbus in the Japanese Market in just three months and is also a clear endorsement of the A320’s unmatched operational reliability and efficiency,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers. “We are honored to play a major role in the launch of a brand new airline in Japan and to welcome A&F Aviation as our newest A320 operator.”  

ANA became Airbus' second customer in Japan when it ordered ten A320s in 1987. The aircraft entered service in early 1991.
