The smallest AirAsia-branche, AirAsia Japan, has ceased all operations with immediate effect. The airline has been struggling to attract a sufficient number of customers for its flights due to the Corona-pandemic.

AirAsia Japan operated three A320s out of its base at Nagoya-Chubu.

This was the second attempt of AirAsia in Japan. The first try was in 2012 when the airline was established at Tokyo-Narita as a joint-venture between AirAsia and All Nippon Airways. It was, however, rebranded a year later to Vanilla Air. The second attempt was founded in 2014 and ended on 5 October 2020.
