Vanilla Air was a Japanese low-cost carrier wholly owned by
All Nippon Airways (ANA). Headquartered in
Narita, Japan, it launched operations in
December 2013 as a rebranded successor to AirAsia Japan. Known for its bright yellow aircraft and budget-friendly services, Vanilla Air focused on connecting Japan with popular domestic and international leisure destinations.
In
October 2019, Vanilla Air merged with
Peach Aviation as part of ANA’s strategy to consolidate its low-cost carriers. Although the Vanilla Air brand no longer operates, its legacy continues through Peach’s expanded network and customer-first approach.
