ORLANDO, Fla. (WFLA) — For the first time, Floridians will be able to take a nonstop flight to Japan, according to a Tuesday announcement.

Orlando International Airport said it will offer nonstop passenger charter flights for those wanting to go to Tokyo, thanks to a partnership with ZIPAIR, a Japanese low-cost airline.

“Our partnership with ZIPAIR is more than just a new route. It’s history,” said Lance Lyttle, Chief Executive Officer for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. This will be the first-ever nonstop passenger flight between Asia Pacific and the state of Florida. The partnership is a testament to the economic strength we share between our communities. We look forward to welcoming ZIPAIR passengers with the warmth and hospitality that both our nations cherish.”
