History

An air field was established on the island of Hachijōjima in 1926 by the

DC-3-201E (Registration JA5039) operated by All Nippon Airways

(ANA) crashed on landing. There were no injuries, but the aircraft was a total loss.

Later on August 17, 1963 Fujita Airlines DH-115 Heron (Registration JA6159) crashed shortly after takeoff into Hachijō-Fuji, the highest mountain on the island, killing all aboard (3 crew + 16 passengers). Following this fatal crash, Fujita Airlines was merged into All Nippon Airways.

From 2000, ANA subsidiary

Boeing 737-400 colorfully painted with a dolphin design to promote tourism. The campaign proved successful, and the aircraft used on the route was changed to a 737-500, and then to an Airbus A320. Flights to Oshima Airport

were discontinued from 2009.

Airbus A320 provide service to Haneda Airport

every day.
