ZIPAIR faces competition on this route from Japan Airlines, ANA, Singapore Airlines, and United Airlines. However, as a low-cost carrier with high-density seating arrangements on its aircrafts compared to competitors' configurations that include more premium seating options.

San Francisco International Airport will see similar services with ZIPAIR operating alongside Japan Airlines, ANA and United. Each airline provides daily services but ZIPAIR offers the largest seat capacity due to its uniform aircraft configuration.

At San Jose Mineta International Airport south of San Francisco Bay Area region—ZIPAIR will operate three weekly flights starting December after a short pause in November—with no other airlines providing long-haul connections from this airport currently available until March when service resumes again post-February hiatus.
