From its Tokyo Narita base it now operates thrice-daily flights on the 790-kilometre route to Sapporo Chitose (CTS) as well as twice-daily flights on the 1,230-kilometre route to Seoul Incheon (ICN).

Competition is considerable on both routes, with four competing airlines on the domestic route and six on the route to South Korea.
