[13] Peach's first aircraft, an Airbus A320, was delivered to its home base at Kansai International Airport in November 2011.

[15] The airline's first flight was on 1 March 2012, between Osaka Kansai and New Chitose Airport, which serves the Sapporo metropolitan area.

Peach's 24-hour operations and exclusive terminal at Kansai Airport were credited for its relative success,[17] as well as its stronger focus on certain passenger experience factors such as its reservations and check-in systems.

[18] However, during the summer 2014 season Peach cancelled over 2,000 planned flights (about 16% of its total capacity) due to a shortage of pilots.

The airline planned to have 62 pilots by October 2014 but only had 52 as of April, eight of whom were unable to fly due to sickness or injury.

On 23 December 2024, it was reported that ANA has acquired the remaining 7% stake from First Eastern Aviation Holdings and therefore assume full ownership of Peach.
