ANA has announced its cargo freighter schedule for fiscal year 2021, based on a five point plan.
In a statement, ANA said that it will raise the profitability of its cargo operations by consolidating its freighters at Narita Airport to meet demand for cargo deliveries to Asia, China, North America and Europe via Narita.
In addition to maximizing the usage of ANA’s fleet of 11 freighters throughout the network, ANA will supplement cargo operations and add both charter flights and non-scheduled commercial flights to meet demand and maintain operational profitability.
ANA will introduce new destinations and routes, depending on the market demand and assessment of its profitability.
Going forward, the operation of cargo-only passenger aircraft flights will be assessed depending on demand forecasts.
