On January 21st, Peach Aviation (MM/APJ) announced that they will launch Okinawa/Naha (OKA/ROAH) - Fukuoka (FUK/RJFF) service on July 19th. It will coincide with the carrier's opening of the Naha hub, its second base after Osaka/Kansai (KIX/RJBB). One Airbus A320 along with maintenance crews will be based there. The timetable for the new route is as follows:
July 19th - September 20th, 2014
MM288 OKA 1635 - 1815 FUK 320 Daily
MM289 FUK 1845 - 2025 OKA 320 Daily
