Our estimate
  • This is not salary. The airline calls it a "challenge allowance" and says it is paid for about 24 months to support living costs during overseas training.
  • It applies to trainees before they hold a license, on an initial two-year fixed-term contract. It is not a figure for captains or first officers.
  • Training costs fall on the trainee. The airline states training costs of about 14.6 million yen (FY2022 actual), with a partner bank loan available; Peach covers the later domestic phase in full.
  • A bonus is listed as payable with no amount. The posting does not say whether the figure is before or after tax.
  • The FY2023 intake is closed, and the terms are not stated as applying to the next round.
  • For captains the posting says pay follows internal rules and is explained during selection, with no amount. There is no first officer vacancy at all.

What is the Peach Aviation pilot salary per month?

We do not publish a monthly figure for Peach Aviation. An annual figure divided by twelve is not what lands in a given month — what you are paid moves with the hours you fly.

What is the Peach Aviation pilot pay scale?

The actual figure moves with the aircraft type, years of service and the routes you fly. We estimate annual pay for Peach Aviation first officers at about $88K. That is our own estimate from public information, not a figure Peach Aviation publishes. These are gross figures, before income tax.

The airline calls it a "challenge allowance" and says it is paid for about 24 months to support living costs during overseas training. Source checked 2026-09-29; yen figures are converted for comparison at the rate held as of 2026-08-22, not a live rate.

Is the Peach Aviation pilot salary before or after tax?

Every figure on this page is gross, before income tax. Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies, and we do not publish one. Airlines based in countries with no personal income tax — the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia — leave more of the same gross figure in your hand.
