ZIPAIR Returns to Orlando International Airport With Nonstop Flights to Tokyo

ZIPAIR Bringing Back Nonstop Orlando to Tokyo Flights This August

The runway between Orlando and Tokyo is lighting up once again. Following the success of its inaugural flights earlier this year, ZIPAIR will return to Orlando International Airport with three additional nonstop open passenger charter flights between Orlando International Airport and Tokyo Narita International Airport this August.

The newly announced flights are scheduled for August 8, 13, and 18, continuing what has quickly become one of the most talked-about international air service additions at Orlando International Airport. The original February and March flights marked the first nonstop open passenger charter service ever operated between Florida and the Asia Pacific region, making the route a pretty historic passport stamp for Central Florida travelers.

According to the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, the response to the first flights exceeded expectations and helped demonstrate strong demand for direct travel between Orlando and Tokyo. GOAA officials say the added flights are another step toward potentially establishing regularly scheduled service between the two destinations after more than 30 years of efforts to make it happen.

ZIPAIR operates out of Terminal C at Orlando International Airport, which has become the airport’s growing hub for modern international carriers and long-haul routes. Travelers interested in booking the August flights will need to keep their eyes peeled in mid-June, when tickets are expected to go on sale.

The announcement also comes as Orlando International Airport continues seeing major international growth. GOAA says MCO welcomed approximately 1.4 million more international visitors in 2025 compared to 2023, further cementing Orlando’s role as one of the world’s busiest tourism gateways.

In addition to the ZIPAIR news, GOAA’s Board also approved a $2.5 million roadway improvement grant during its monthly meeting. The funding, provided through the Florida Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration, will support traffic and roadway efficiency upgrades along Jeff Fuqua Boulevard and Station Loop Road near the airport.

For Orlando travelers dreaming of sushi, skylines, and Tokyo Disney adventures without the layover shuffle, this route may be the closest thing to a magic carpet ride across the Pacific.
