Peach

Liberalisation of the aviation market came relatively late to Japan. But once initiated, deregulation across the aviation sector in Japan has been extensive. Ahead of a significant increase in competition, especially from LCCs, ANA decided to implement a twin-brand strategy to address the full service and low cost/value focused market segments. This led to the founding of Peach in which Mango played a pivotal role.

Project background

ANA of Japan were determined to set-up a truly low-cost operation in an aviation sector not known for cost efficiency. This required the LCC business model to be introduced and applied in a way that respected Japanese market requirements whilst holding firm to LCC business model core principles and disciplines.

Equally important was establishing a lasting LCC internal culture and way of working. Mango were entrusted by ANA and the founding shareholders of Peach to work with local staff drawn from ANA to set-up and launch what has become a ground-breaking and successful airline in Japan.
