Japan Air Commuter (JAC) is a Japanese regional airline based in Kirishima, Kagoshima Prefecture.[1] It operates feeder services in support of Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways.[2] Its main base is Kagoshima Airport, with focus cities at Itami Airport, Amami Airport and Fukuoka Airport.[3] JAC is owned by Japan Airlines (60%) and 12 local municipalities of the Amami Islands and Kagoshima (40%).[3]
History
The airline was established on 1 July 1983[4] and started operations in December 1983. A joint investment plan with public and private investors in fourteen Kagoshima Prefecture municipalities established Japan Air Commuter.[4] At the time JAC was an affiliate of Toa Domestic Airlines, later known as Japan Air System.[4] Japan Air System later merged into Japan Airlines.
In the 1990s JAC had its headquarters in the Kagoshima Airport Building Annex in Mizobe, Aira District, Kagoshima Prefecture.[5]
In October 2019, JAC, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Oriental Air Bridge, and Amakusa Airlines formed Template:Ill (EAS LLP), a limited liability partnership, as an alliance among the three Kyushu regional carriers, with the aim of consolidating safety and technical operations, sales promotions, procurement, personnel, and other functions.[6][7] JAC began code sharing with All Nippon Airways in October 2022, with certain flights carrying both ANA and JAL flight numbers.[2]
JAC joined Oneworld as an affiliate member in October 2020.[8]
