Peach Aviation (ピーチ・アビエーション 株式会社) is a low-cost airline based in Japan, operating under the brand name Peach.
Peach was founded in 2011, originally as A&F Aviation as a joint venture between All Nippon Airways (ANA) and the First Eastern Investment Group. In 2011, the company applied for an operating certificate and later changed the name to Peach Aviation.
Peach's first flight service took place on 1st March 2012, between Kansai and New Chitose Airport.
Peach was the most successful of the three new Japanese low-cost carriers during their first year of operations, with average load factors around 80 percent versus 70 percent for Jetstar Japan and 50 to 60 percent for AirAsia Japan. Peach's 24-hour operations and exclusive terminal at Kansai Airport were credited for its relative success, as well as its stronger focus on certain passenger experience factors such as its reservations and check-in systems.

Peach Aviation announced in March 2018 that by the end of the 2019 Financial Year, the airline will merge with Vanilla Air. This will help the two airlines unite to become the leading low-cost carrier in Asia.
