Osaka, January 29, 2024 - Peach Aviation Limited (“Peach”; Representative Director and CEO:Kazunari Ohashi) has announced that the four cadets who formed the first generation of the pilot
training program “Peach Pilot Challenge Program with Airbus” have been promoted to co-pilots.

The first generation of the pilot training program “Peach Pilot Challenge Program with Airbus”

The "Pilot Challenge Program with Airbus" provides practical training to selected individuals whowant to become pilots, while reducing their financial burden. This program makes it possible forsuccessful applicants to obtain the licenses necessary to become airline pilots based on a highlevel pilot training program selected by Peach and with the support of the ANA Group. The cadets
who took part in our program, filled with hope and potential are known affectionately as“Momotane” (Peach seed) within the company.
The four trainees who joined the program as its first generation in April 2019 have completed
training for the EASA license*1 overseas, and for the JCAB license*2 domestically, steadily walking
the path to becoming a pilot. Although there were forced changes to the program due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, the cadets were taken through training for type rating*3 through simulatorsand route training in actual aircraft as part of the co-pilot promotion program starting in March
2022. And, in January 2024, after five years of training, cadets passed the co-pilots designation
check *4 and were promoted to co-pilots.

The first generation of Momotane who passed the co-pilots designation check, as the first to takeon this challenge, did not have predecessors to compare their progress and capabilities with,instead relying on mutual encouragement to overcome the difficult training program. The fourcadets who will now spread their wings across Asia will not forget their training but will continue tostrive for self-improvement as professionals tasked with the safety of the skies.
The Pilot Challenge Program has accepted cadets up to the current fourth generation, from a
range of differing ages and backgrounds, who work hard on their day-to-day training. The fifth
generation is expected to start at the company this April. In addition, “Peach Pilot Training
Program with Airbus” information sessions are scheduled for this January and February.
Please see the next section for further details.
Peach will continue to support passionate individuals who dream of becoming pilots and continue
to grow alongside our colleagues who take to the stages in the skies of Asia. And by training as
many pilots as possible, we will contribute to the growth of future aviation demand.
