September 19, 2006 -ANA today filed changes to its 2006 Corporate Plan with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
The major changes are as follows, subject to approval by the authorities:
1) Outline
a) International Operations
| |
More flights and improved schedules to maximise our partner hub strategy and profitability on Asian routes; implementation of more daily services to China destinations. |
i) Star Alliance Hubs
| |
Increased network competitive strength, and profitability on Asian routes, by working with fellow Star Alliance member airlines in North America and Asia to improve connectivity at their hub airports. Namely, the commencement of Tokyo-Chicago daily flights, and the increase of Tokyo-Singapore frequencies to double daily from the 2006 winter schedule. Furthermore, from September 28, a move to Bangkoks new Suvarnabhumi Airport with Star Alliance member carriers and an improved Tokyo-Bangkok schedule will allow more convenient connections beyond Bangkok. |
ii) More Flights to China
| |
Thanks to the successful outcome of bilateral talks with China in July this year, improved China network by increasing flights to Xiamen and Qingdao from Tokyo to a daily service, and commencing flights to Tianjing from Nagoya Centrair. These will commence with the 2006 winter schedule. |
b) Domestic Operations
| |
Okinawa feeder expansion.
More flights between Naha and the outlying islands of Ishigaki and Miyako to improve efficiencies in the region and give greater choice to customers flying from Tokyo and other parts of Japan. |
