The three key elements of this partnership which will give added value to ANA’s and NCA’s customers, and will provide them with seamless logistics experiences are: 1. Code Share Within the first half of the fiscal year 2018, ANA and NCA plan to add codeshares to each other’s flights(*). The codeshares will offer a broad network of flights and a wider range of choices to the partner’s customers, allowing seamless and convenient connections with outstanding Japan-quality service, and especially leveraging the synergy effect of ANA’s Boeing 767 operation to China and Asia, and NCA’s Boeing 747 freighter operation to North America and Europe. ANA’s plans to introduce Boeing 777 freighters will further increase the customer choice. 2. Block Space Through this partnership, the two airlines plan to expand the existing interline and block space agreement, with the aim to effectively utilize each other’s cargo space and provide a reliable and convenient connection service. 3. Maintenance Support Finally, the MOU includes a maintenance support agreement, by which ANA will allocate maintenance resources to support NCA’s operation. The agreement will enable active sharing of knowledge and enhancement of the technical abilities of both carriers. With this new partnership, ANA and NCA hope to provide their customers access to a large global freight network, highest quality of service, and convenient and flexible choices, responding to the growing demand.

    Press Release March 13,2020 Peach Aviation Limited Announcement Regarding the Change of Representative Director and CEO ・ Shinichi Inoue, who has been the Representative Director and CEO since the inception, will resign on March 31, and become the Member of the Board, Senior Executive Vice President of All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. ・ Deputy CEO, Takeaki Mori, will become the new Representative Director and CEO from April 1 Osaka, March 13, 2020 - Peach Aviation Limited (“Peach”) announce the informal decision of the retirement of Representative Director and CEO, Shinichi Inoue, effective March 31, 2020. Deputy CEO, Takeaki Mori, will become the new Representative Director and CEO from April 1, 2020. *1. On March 1, 2012, just one year after its inception, Peach started its domestic service with three aircraft as the first LCC in Japan, and two months later, in May, started its international service. Since then, Peach has been promoting the value of LCC based on the idea of becoming the “Flying Train.” Its endeavor to create demand had led to the expansion of domestic and international services. March 1, 2020 marks the eighth anniversary of its first flight. Peach now operates 33 aircraft on 21 domestic and 18 international routes. Approximately 20,000 passengers fly Peach every day*2.

    LCCs: On the verge of making it big in Japan? LCCs: On the verge of making it big in Japan? The announcement that AirAsia plans a return to the Japanese market in 2015 is symptomatic of the changes taking place in Japanese aviation. Low cost carriers (LCCs) have been growing rapidly, stealing market share from the full service carriers (FSCs), and some airports are creating terminals to handle this new type of traffic. After initial scepticism that the Japanese traveller would accept a low cost model in the air, can the same be said for low cost terminals? In this article we look at the evolution of LCCs in Japan and ask what the planners need to be considering now in order to accommodate tomorrow’s airlines. Looking back decades Japan was unusual in Asia in that it fostered competition between national carriers, allowing both ANA and Japan Airlines to create strong market positions. As elsewhere, though, competition is regulated and domestic carriers favoured. While low cost carriers (LCCs) have been given room to breathe in Japan their access to some of the major airports has been restricted, albeit by a lack of slot availability at airports such as Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport. The fostering of a truly competitive Japanese aviation market requires the opportunity for LCCs to thrive and that almost certainly means new airport infrastructure to deliver those much needed slots. State of play In comparison to the wider Asian region, LCCs in Japan are still some way from reaching comparable levels of market share. In October 2014, LCCs accounted for 26% of scheduled airline capacity within Asia; in Japan they have just reached a 17% share of domestic seats and have yet to gain a strong foothold in the international market, with just 9% of seats, or 7.5 million seats annually.

The fast growing global aviation industry has committed to reduce carbon emissions. Received in revised form Carbon offsetting is an integral element of the sector's strategy. Already, airlines offer voluntary carbon 29 May 2017 offsetting to those customers who wish to mitigate the impact of their travel.

  • An Economic Analysis of Low Cost Carriers and Insurance
    Applied Economics and Finance Vol. 2, No. 4; November 2015 ISSN 2332-7294 E-ISSN 2332-7308 Published by Redfame Publishing URL: http://aef.redfame.com An Economic Analysis of Low Cost Carriers and Insurance Mahito Okura1 1Department of Social System Studies, Faculty of Contemporary Social Studies, Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts, Kyoto, Japan. Correspondence: Mahito Okura, Department of Social System Studies, Faculty of Contemporary Social Studies, Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts, Kodo, Kyotanabe, Kyoto, 610-0395, Japan. Received: July 17, 2015 Accepted: July 28, 2015 Available online: August 13, 2015 doi:10.11114/aef.v2i4.1029 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11114/aef.v2i4.1029 Abstract The purpose of this research is to analyze an airline market in which both low cost carriers (LCCs) and full service carriers (FSCs) coexist. LCCs propose cheaper air ticket prices, but the possibility of late arrival is higher than with FSCs. This research investigates the effect of the introduction of an insurance policy that covers the losses from late arrivals. In relation to this insurance, the following two questions are considered. The first is how the demand for LCC changes when the insurance is introduced. The second is how the introduction of this insurance influences the LCC’s investments to lower the possibility of late arrivals. The main results of this research are as follows. First, the introduction of late-arrival insurance increases the demand for LCC. Second, the impact of the introduction of this insurance becomes high when the possibility of late arrival is high and the insurance premium rate is low; however, the effect of the air ticket price of LCC is ambiguous.

  • ANA HOLDINGS Financial Results for the Year Ended March 31, 2020
    ANA HOLDINGS NEWS ANA HOLDINGS Financial Results for the Year Ended March 31, 2020 Impact of the outbreak and spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and resulting government mandated travel restrictions globally led to flight schedule cancellations, reduced domestic and international passengers, less cargo volume and decreased financial performance from the previous fiscal year. TOKYO, April 28, 2020 – ANA HOLDINGS INC. (hereinafter “ANA HD”) today reports its financial results for fiscal year 2019 (April 2019 – March 2020). Overview The consolidated performance during the 2019 fiscal year includes operating revenue of 1,974.2 billion yen due to a dramatic decrease in revenue centered on the air transportation business. While ANA sought to reduce costs and combat the increase in expenses - such as the expansion of arrival/departure slots at airports in the Tokyo metropolitan area - the number of scheduled flights were significantly reduced to match the sudden decline in demand in the fourth quarter, which led to operating income of 60.8 billion yen and ordinary income of 59.3 billion yen. Although ANA reported compensation for delays in the receipt of aircraft and engine operational service issues, extraordinary gains/losses for net income attributable to owners of the parent was 27.6 billion yen as a result of impairment of goodwill pertaining to Peach Aviation Limited. Consolidated Financial Performance Unit: billion yen (Except for % comparison, rounded down) FY2019 FY2018 Difference % Comparison Operating revenues 1,974.2 2,058.3 -84.0
