Direct Flights Open Magical Gateway Between Disney World and Tokyo Disney Resort

Four round-trip nonstop charter flights are scheduled between Narita and Orlando from Feb. 23 to March 10, 2026, with tickets on sale in December 2025.
ZIPAIR Tokyo, a Japan Airlines subsidiary, announced the route Tuesday at the Hotel New Otani in Tokyo, with officials including Disney and tourism leaders present.
The nonstop path spans 6,300 nautical miles and takes about 13 to 15 hours on Zipair's Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, featuring standard economy and Zip Full-Flat business class cabins.
Central Florida tourism and business leaders said the direct link will open the region to new visitors and strengthen economic ties, unlocking opportunities to showcase Orlando's theme parks, sports, culinary scene, and culture.
Officials say the charter is intended to test demand and could lead to scheduled service; Orlando International Airport already offers nonstop flights to 55 international destinations, including recent routes to Munich, Paris, and Madrid.
