ANA’s low cost airline Vanilla Air, is to launch flights between Hong Kong and Tokyo (Narita) on 2 November 2014.

Vanilla Air will operate the route with Airbus A320 aircraft in a one-class 180-seat configuration. The airline will fly between Hong Kong and Tokyo three times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays until 31 January 2015.

From 1 February the airline will increase the frequency of the route to daily, and then twice daily from 21 February 2015.

“The name of Vanilla Air was inspired by the sophisticated and fresh flavor of Vanilla popular in the world. I would like Vanilla Air to become the airline company as widely loved as vanilla and to continue to provide passengers with safe and comfortable services,” said Mr. Tomonori ISHII, President of Vanilla Air.

From Tokyo (Narita), Vanilla Air currently operates two international routes, namely Taipei (Taoyuan) and Seoul (Incheon); and three domestic routes to Sapporo, Okinawa and Amami Oshima.
