On September 10th, Vanilla Air (JW/VNL) announced the timetable for their new routes from the Tokyo/Narita (NRT/RJAA) hub to Hong Kong (HKG/VHHH) and Kaohsiung (KHH/RCKH) (Vanilla Air announces Hong Kong and Kaohsiung.), which will be commenced from November 2nd, 2014 and February 1st, 2015, respectively.
The wholly-owned LCC subsidiary of ANA Holdings, parent of All Nippon Airways (NH/ANA), will start Hong Kong service with three weekly round-trips, which will gradually be increased to daily from February 1st and double daily from February 21st. One of the two daily will be a red-eye flight. Meanwhile, the Kaohsiung route will be served daily from February 1st. It will be the second destination Vanilla Air serves in Taiwan after Taipei/Taoyuan (TPE/RCTP).
"Japan is seeing a growing number of tourists from Asia. Visitor numbers from Hong Kong and Taiwan have been recording the month's highest for 18 months in a row, and we're very pleased to announce the new routes. As the first LCC serving the two cities from Narita, my heart is filled with new ambitions," said Tomonori Ishii, President of Vanilla Air.
