| Tiivistelmä: | Sawada Hideo is a rare bird. The founder of upstart discount-travel agency HIS, he is used to taking on established players. His latest gamble: launching a rival to Japan's three dominant airlines. Because no newcomer has entered the domestic airline business in 43 years. The announcement in Tokyo last October was greeted with disbelief. Even Sawad had his doubts at first. "Five years ago, we did not think it was possible," says the 45 year old entrepreneur. He had long pondered a start-up with his business associate Okawara Junichi, a licensed amateur pilot. |
