Fleet
New Central Air Service (ICAO: CUK) is a Japanese regional carrier established in 1978. Based at Chofu Airport near Tokyo, the airline operates regional flights and charter services connecting smaller Japanese airports with efficient, cost-effective operations.
The airline's history reflects Japan's regional aviation development. Chofu Airport serves as the airline's primary hub, positioning New Central Air Service as a key operator on secondary routes where larger carriers have limited presence. This focus allows the airline to serve communities and business travel demand across Japan's regional network.
New Central Air Service operates a modern turboprop fleet centered on the Dornier 328 aircraft. This twin-engine type is well-suited to the airline's regional mission, offering reliability and economics for short-distance operations. The fleet composition reflects the airline's positioning as a regional specialist rather than a long-haul or high-capacity operator.
