With summer vacation here and the yen depreciating, traveling to Japan has become a national craze. Capitalizing on the booming Japan tourism market, following China Airlines and TransAsia Airways adding direct flights from Tainan and Taichung to Osaka, low-cost carrier Tigerair has also announced a new Kaohsiung–Osaka route, scheduled to launch on July 3, offering travelers even more options for their Japan trips!

Low-cost carrier Tigerair, after announcing the launch of Taipei Taoyuan–Okinawa and Taipei Taoyuan–Osaka routes on June 29, has once again revealed that it will open two new flights from Taipei Taoyuan and Kaohsiung to Kansai International Airport in Osaka starting July 3. The Kaohsiung–Osaka route is not only Tigerair’s third Japanese destination after Tokyo and Okinawa, but also its second departure point from Kaohsiung and the first northeastern Asia route launched in southern Taiwan.

The “Kaohsiung–Osaka” route will operate one flight per day starting July 3; the outbound flight number is IT284, departing from Kaohsiung International Airport at 16:05; the return flight number is IT285, leaving Kansai International Airport at 11:15. With Tigerair joining the southern Taiwan route lineup, there are now two low-cost carriers—Peach Aviation and Tigerair—offering direct flights from Kaohsiung to Osaka, while Taipei has three options: Peach, Jetstar, and Tigerair.
