History
[http://www.jair.co.jp/about/gaiyou_fr.html (J-Air's autobiography in Japanese)]
On April 8, 1988, JAL Flight Academy Co., Ltd. (JFA) was founded in Hiroshima Nishi Airport in Hiroshima, Hiroshima.
In April 1991, a new division of JFA was created to operate scheduled services to succeed the troubled Nishi Seto Airlink services. In September 1991, a nineteen-passenger Handley Page Jetstream (JS31) replaced Handley Page Jetstream (JS31) replaced Embraer EMB110 Bandeirante from Nishi Seto. JS31s were progressively added to the fleet.
On August 8, 1996, J-Air Co., Ltd was founded in Hiroshima, Hiroshima to identify itself as an airline.
From April 2001, government subsidy termination required J-Air self-sufficient. In the JAL group's marketing strategies it found its niche in segments where 100-plus-passenger Boeing 737s were too large and frequent service were in demand.
Fifty-passenger CRJ-200s progressively replaced five JS31s until completion in August 2003.
On February 17, 2005, it was relocated to Nagoya Airport (NKM) near Nagoya, Aichi to access the larger market opportunity.
