ANA JOINT VENTURE WITH UNITED APPROVED BY JAPANESE GOVERNMENT All Nippon Airways says Japan’s Ministry of Land, In- frastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLITT) has granted it antitrust immunity for its proposed trans-Pacifi c cargo joint venture with United Airlines (UA, Chicago O’Hare). With the immunity in hand, the two Star Alliance carriers are now free to undertake network planning, pricing, sales, and handling on specifi ed trans-Pacifi c routes. “The trans- Pacifi c cargo joint venture - the fi rst of its kind between the U.S. and Asia - would generate substantial service benefi ts for freight consumers. It would also enable United and ANA to compete more effectively with other airlines that maintain a signifi cant presence in both markets,” the Japanese carrier said in a statement. ANA already operates a similar venture with Lufthansa (LH, Frankfurt Int’l) subsidiary Lufthansa Cargo (GEC, Frankfurt Int’l) on fl ights between Japan and Europe and vice versa. 12 • May 2015 • Airport Press Metro Edition Cargo News From Page 11 The handled 385,842 tons of cargo in the EVA AIR CARGO LAUNCHES Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago after shipments between Asia and Europe for a fi rst three months of 2015, its fi rst quarterly June 1. fall in almost two years.
