It was only a month ago that Air Japan decided that it would ramp up its Singapore-Tokyo flight schedule. But in a shocking turn of events, the low-cost Japanese airline under All Nippon Airways (ANA) has just announced that it will be ceasing operations altogether before the first quarter of 2026 is over.

According to a spokesperson from ANA, this restructuring is part of a new brand strategy aimed at maximising profits and resources. Existing aircraft and staff will be redistributed across ANA Group’s other operations, which include Peach Aviation – a budget carrier that currently offers wallet-friendly direct flights to Kansai International Airport in Osaka.

Not to worry if you have pending Air Japan flights already booked and paid for. It’s business as usual between Singapore’s Changi Airport and Tokyo’s Narita Airport till the end of March next year, with the final Japan-bound flight from Singapore departing at 12.55am on March 29, 2026. New flight bookings will also be accepted during this period, so there’s no reason to halt your travel plans.

It’s not too late – reserve your final Air Japan flights here. As for trips beyond March next year? There’s always Air Japan’s direct competitor, Zipair by Japan Airlines, to consider for affordable trips to Tokyo.
