FujiAir has leased is second 737-700, which will open FJ's new daily services to Angeles City, Phillippines (CRK), and our Monday, Friday and Saturday services to Bali (DPS). We have also increased our 737-700 Singapore (XSP) service to daily for business travelers.

FujiExpress has leased 4 more gently-used ATR42-500 turboprops, bringing our total number to 7. FX will be using the ATR42 for domestic services, and international links to China and Korea. With these new aircraft, FX now links Hiroshima to Harbin, China (3x daily), Ningbo, China (3x daily), Tianjin, China (3x daily), Wenzhou, China (2x daily), Jinan, China (daily), and Pyongyang, North Korea (daily).
We have also ordered 5 more ATR42s, and 2 ATR72s. We are also considering ordering several Boeing 737-600s, which will fly to large cities in Asia, such as Seoul or Shanghai.

FujiClipper has launched operations in Tokyo Narita (NRT)! FujiAir's low-cost branch is proud to serve. Our first aircraft, a CFM56-powered Airbus A319, flies daily from NRT to Osaka (KIX) and Kuala Lumpur (KUL), overpowering the competition with our low fares. More A319s are planned for expansion to Asia. Even though FujiAir and FujiExpress operate the 737, the A319 was chosen because of its 4,300+ mi range, which will allow us to fly as far as Australia. Another A319 is on order.
FujiClipper does not plan to operate any other types of aircraft.

The Fuji Group is also searching for used Boeing 747-400 Domestic aircraft for Asia and Domestic flights. It is unannounced whether a purchase will be made.

FujiExpress continues to expand its operations, now operating with a 19-strong fleet: 15 ATR42s, 2 ATR72s, and 2 737s.
A contract has been signed with Boeing for three brand new 737-700s to be operated on a ten-year lease. The introduction of the 737 will allow FujiExpress to begin introduction of its first In-Flight Entertainment system, tentatively called "FujiFun". The IFE will be incorporated on all five 737s and potentially the two ATR72s.
The ATR72s have arrived and will be deployed on domestic links. Three more are on order.
Also, we will be soon opening our second hub, this one being in Sendai (SDJ). Five newly leased ATR42s are on their way to SDJ to assist in our hub development.
New destinations include:
Miyako, JP (MMY) daily
Hakodate, JP (HKD) 2x daily (ATR72)
Kumamoto, JP (KMJ) 3x daily
Sendai, JP (SDJ) 3x daily (ATR72)

The FujiExpress Fleet:
20 ATR42-500
5 ATR72-500
5 B737-700

Orders:
10 B737-700

FujiExpress is also considering ordering more ATRs for development at the Sendai Hub.
FujiClipper, with 4 A319s now, continues operations at Narita, seperate from FujiExpress. FujiClipper now has new daily routes to Cheju (CJU), Hyderabad (HYD) and Almaty (ALA)
