All Nippon Airways Co. on Thursday opened a terminal at Naha Airport in Okinawa dedicated to budget airlines, the first facility of its kind to begin operations in Japan.

Peach Aviation Ltd. and AirAsia Japan Co., both partially owned by ANA, will both use the new terminal, which was built by renovating part of a transit shed rented by the major carrier.

Peach Aviation operates two daily round-trip flights connecting Naha and Kansai airport, while AirAsia Japan flies one daily round-trip flight between Naha and Narita airport, ANA said.
