In Japan, since the aviation industry resumed all of operations after the war, there have been a great number of mergers consolidating the airlines into two distinct structure (except affiliate companies), resulting in a lack of adequate competition and oligopoly in the domestic flight market.
There has been a remarkable slashing of prices in the international flight market, which is locked in fierce competition, and benefactors have been the customers. On the other hand, fares in the domestic market have been generally set at a high level, with customers' dissatisfaction constantly increasing.
Our company was founded to enter this domestic flight market, create a competitive environment, and contribute to enhancing customer satisfaction.

In accordance with our management principle “Safety First", all the employees at Skymark Airlines, including management, give top priority to the safety of our flights.
At the practical business affairs level, our flight division, maintenance division, and airport division conduct their operation diligently to maintain safe flights.
In addition, the Safety Promotion Committee for safety issues, and audit office for business quality inspect operations conducted in each division on a regular and flexible basis in order to improve all operations.
