Low-cost carrier Zipair Tokyo has announced that it will begin regular flight services between Narita International Airport and Houston on March 4, 2025. The Japan Airlines subsidiary plans to operate four round trips per week on this new route, connecting the hub airport near Tokyo with the major city in Texas. Adult passengers can expect a one-way ticket from Narita to be priced from ¥55,250.
This will mark Zipair’s fifth route between Japan and North America, but it will be the first time the budget airline flies to a southern U.S. city. At a press conference held at the airport in Chiba Prefecture, Zipair President and CEO Shingo Nishida expressed optimism about the potential demand for travel not only on this route but also beyond Houston. He stated that “Latin American markets will be within our customers’ reach.”
To commemorate the launch of this new flight, Zipair will offer special fares starting at ¥39,000 for boarding between March 4 and March 29.
this expansion of Zipair’s services reflects their commitment to providing affordable travel options for passengers traveling between Japan and North America. With their entry into the southern U.S., they hope to tap into new markets and attract travelers looking for convenient connections beyond Houston.
