Jetstar Japan resumes Manila-Osaka flights after nearly 6-year break

Budget airline Jetstar Japan has resumed its flights between Manila and Osaka (Kansai) after a nearly six-year hiatus.

The airline will operate up to seven return trips weekly between the two cities until March 28, 2026, utilizing Airbus A320 aircraft.

Jetstar Japan is now the only Japanese airline directly linking the Philippines to the Kansai region, competing with Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific.

The reintroduction of the Manila-Kansai route aims to expand travel options and convenience for customers, particularly for Filipinos visiting Japan during winter.

Flight GK82 departs Manila at 2:40 a.m. and arrives in Osaka at 7:25 a.m., while flight GK81 departs Osaka at 10:00 p.m. and arrives in Manila at 1:40 a.m. the next day.
