Representative Director, Chairperson ZIPAIR Tokyo Day was announced by Houston Mayor John Whitmire on Tuesday, March 4 at a ceremony held at Houston City Hall to celebrate ZIPAIR's new Houston service. Comment from Mr. John Whitmire, the Houston city Mayor, Today is a historical day for the City of Houston and my administration, the day ZIPAIR launched the direct flight to Tokyo. As our city grows, the airline will grow, and it will facilitate and allow so many more Houstonians to travel Japan, as well as citizens from Japan will also be able to come and enjoy Houston, Texas. It will help our cultural exchange and economy, and the guests from Japan would be able to access our airport, our medical center and the space center. I look forward to traveling to Tokyo, a well-run city with its rich culture and successful transit system, which I have been following for years. ZIPAIR is now part of our family, and today, the city council will proclaim March 4, 2025 as “ZIPAIR Tokyo Day”. Comment from Shingo Nishida, ZIPAIR Tokyo Inc.Representative Director,President I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the City of Houston for establishing “ZIPAIR Tokyo Day”. It is a great honor for us at ZIPAIR to be able to celebrate this prestigious day. We are proud to be a page in the history of the City of Houston as it continues to grow and develop. Houston is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. and is a fascinating city with a diverse culture that includes industries such as IT and energy, as well as food and the arts. In addition, the George Bush Intercontinental Airport provides easy access to the United States and Latin America, and we expect that many Japanese people will visit the city. We also believe that this will provide a new option for residents of Houston and the surrounding area when they travel to Japan. Once again, we would like to thank the City of Houston for their warm welcome to ZIPAIR.
