On Wednesday (May 20, 2026), Orlando International Airport (MCO) announced that ZIPAIR will once again offer nonstop passenger service between Orlando and Tokyo’s Narita International Airport (NRT), with three additional open passenger charter flights scheduled for August 8th, 13th, and 18th.  The additional flights are in response to the tremendous success of ZIPAIR’s inaugural nonstop service between the two cities earlier this year. The previous flights in February and March marked a historic milestone as the first nonstop open passenger charter operation between Florida and the Asia Pacific region.  The new flight will continue to build efforts to establish regular scheduled service between two of the world’s most visited destinations.


In Wednesday’s announcement, the Greater Orlando Airport Authority’s (GOAA’s) CEO, Lance Lyttle, said,


“The excitement surrounding ZIPAIR’s first flights exceeded expectations and sent a clear message that travelers want this connection.  The return of service is an exciting milestone and another sign that Orlando continues to strengthen its position as a truly global gateway.”


Also commenting on the additional flights, GOAA’s Chief Commercial Officer, Vicki Jaramillo, added,


“The success of ZIPAIR’s inaugural flights validated years of work and collaboration among our Air Service Development team and valued tourism and community partners.  Travelers have embraced this service, and we are optimistic that this momentum will continue to create opportunities for future growth.”


International traffic at MCO is growing rapidly, with around 1.4 million more international visitors in 2025 than in 2023.  As Florida’s busiest airport, the 9th busiest in the U.S., and the world’s 25th busiest, MCO hopes to welcome even more international visitors in 2026.
