Spring Japan Celebrates 10th Anniversary with New Uniforms
Spring Japan marked its 10th anniversary on August 1st. At Narita Airport, a commemorative ceremony was held, showcasing the second-generation cabin crew uniforms that were worn for the first time on the same day.
Spring Japan was established in September 2012 as Spring Airlines Japan. Based in Tokyo/Narita, it began operations on three routes to Hiroshima, Takamatsu, and Saga on August 1, 2014. In June 2021, it became a subsidiary of JAL, and in November of the same year, it changed its name to the current one. It now operates routes to Sapporo/Chitose and Hiroshima, as well as to Shanghai/Pudong, Harbin, Tianjin, and Ningbo. On August 1, it launched a new route to Beijing, moving to a system of 2 domestic routes and 5 international routes.
