Japanese LCCs to align, enter Southeast Asia
Japanese LCC Peach Aviation has entered discussions with sister airline Vanilla Air to align operations. ANA owns 67% of Peach's shares and fully owns Vanilla Air. ANA said in February that the LCCs will work closely "to entrench their profitability base." "We are starting talks now on how to integrate operations in a better way, and increase effectiveness and efficiency," said a Peach executive. "It makes no sense to compete head to head." ANA said the two LCCs will move into the medium-haul markets of Asia and Southeast Asia by 2020. Peach currently flies to Bangkok via Okinawa, but aims to operate from its hub in Osaka instead. <br/>
