ZIPAIR Tokyo Inc. (ZG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Airlines, is a Japanese long-haul, low-cost carrier based at Tokyo Narita International Airport. Founded in 2018, it began operations in June 2020. The airline offers competitive base fares on transpacific and Asian routes through a customizable, a la carte business model that lets passengers add optional services such as checked baggage, meals, seat selection, priority boarding, and lounge access.
The airline operates a modern fleet of Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners with 290 seats, providing both standard economy and a premium "ZIP Full-Flat" cabin with lie-flat seats — a rare feature among low-cost long-haul carriers.
ZIPAIR is scheduled to start nonstop flights between Tokyo Narita and Toronto on March 2, 2027. This new route will connect Narita with one of Canada’s major cities, expanding its network beyond its current destinations across Asia and North America, which include Seoul, Bangkok, Singapore, Honolulu, Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Houston.
