AirAsia Japan to launch discount campaign

Low-cost airline AirAsia Japan said Thursday it will start a special discount campaign ahead of its service launch in August.

The firm will offer 1,980 yen one-way fares between Narita International Airport and New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido, down from the minimum regular fare of 4,580 yen.

Special fares are also available at 1,980 yen for one-way flights between Narita and Fukuoka Airport and at 2,980 yen between Narita and Naha Airport in Okinawa Prefecture.

From Friday to Monday, AirAsia will accept reservations on its website for flights from Aug. 28 to Oct. 27.

AirAsia, a subsidiary of All Nippon Airways, aims to sell 2,000 tickets on each of the three routes.
