Founded in 1996, Skymark Airlines is a low-cost carrier that's headquartered at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and also the dominant carrier at Kobe Airport. At the point of writing, it remains the largest independent airline and the only independent low-cost carrier in the country as the others are actually controlled by either Japan Airlines or ANA.

As mentioned in the previous post on Nagasaki Airport, there are only gates and no more shops past the security clearance.



The departure time was apparently moved 5 minutes earlier than scheduled.
Boarding started at around 5.05pm in an orderly manner.

The all-Economy Class aircraft is equipped with 177 passenger seats in a 3-3 configuration.

The only IFE (In-Flight Entertainment) is your imagination.


I wonder if we're not going to see physical copies of in-flight magazines anymore as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.


Let's always be grateful for flight attendants who've been trained to save us in the event of an emergency.


See you again someday, Kyushu!


Look at that heart symbol on the winglet! There are other designs too on different aircraft.

Lovely sunset colours~
Would you like to see the cabin lighting during take-off?


Here are but a few photos of the contents of the in-flight magazine.



Can you find all seven differences?
For that short flight, Kit Kat chocolate bars specially wrapped for the airline were offered for free. One of the flight attendants even made an announcement towards the end of the flight that especially those who missed the service could take theirs later as they exited the aircraft.


Light bites and drinks are available for purchase.


The flight came to an end pretty quickly. 

Kudos to the flight attendants who were always smiling! I think they were really enjoying their job.


Welcome to Kobe! Previously I'd been to Kobe for a short while only as I was trying to make full use of my JR Pass. 



As of now, Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, a commonwealth of the USA in the Pacific Ocean, is the only international destination served by the airline. Unfortunately, it has to be suspended for the time being due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
