Buy Oriental Air Bridge with Alternative Airlines
Oriental Air Bridge is a Japanese airline operating domestic flights in Japan. The airline was founded in June 1961 and commenced operations in May 1980. The first-ever service for the airline was between Nagasaki and Iki and the route is still currently operating. In November 2009, the airline started codeshare flights with ANA All Nippon Airways on a few routes. These codeshare routes are originating from Nagasaki and Fukuoka to destinations like Tsushima, Fukue, and Miyazaki.
The airline is currently operating these domestic flights with DHC-8-201 and DHC-8-400, which are perfect for these routes. The airline is based at Nagasaki Airport, where many international and regional carriers operate. It provides great connectivity for travellers intending to travel on to a connecting flight.
