♦Reopening of Sendai Airport and Start of Non-Scheduled Flights from Haneda
While Sendai routes were suspended after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the ANA Group initiated non-scheduled Haneda-Sendai flights when commercial aircraft service resumed on April 13, 2011.
The message “Forward together as one Japan” was painted on the fuselage of the first aircraft, expressing the ANA Group’s support for the reconstruction of the disaster area and Japan. International routes reopened on April 22, 2011.
The ANA Group provided non-scheduled direct flights to Fukushima and Yamagata airports after the Earthquake in order to enhance transportation access to Sendai and the disaster area. The start of temporary service at Sendai Airport allowed the ANA Group to operate arrivals and departures at six airports in the Tohoku region: Odatenoshiro Airport, Akita Airport, Shonai Airport, Fukushima Airport, Yamagata Airport and Sendai Airport.

In addition, based on activities in response to the Niigataken Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake, our employees felt they wanted to contribute to relief efforts once again using the strengths of the ANA Group. We therefore decided to implement activities upon confirming the situation in the disaster area.
♦Hot Water Supply Using Snow Removal Trucks
A sports and recreation facility in Utatsu, Minami Sanriku, Miyagi Prefecture called Heisei no Mori became a site for providing hot baths.
Aiming to aid the reconstruction of Japan, starting with the disaster area, under the message of “Forward together as one Japan,” ANA used snow removal trucks to provide hot baths at evacuation centers for about two months after the Earthquake. We named this program ANA Spirit Baths in reference to the shared spirit of the ANA Group employees assisting the people affected by the Earthquake.
♦Delivering Hot Water to ANA Spirit Baths
The first group of employee volunteers (five or six per group) departed on April 27. 2011, and the ANA Spirit Baths project started on the following day, April 28. The project supplied hot water every day without fail. ANA Spirit Baths hot bath activities ended on June 29, 2011 when running water and hot water supply facilities were restored. Subsequently, Heisei no Mori stopped serving as an evacuation center on August 16, 2011, the date when all evacuees were scheduled to move to temporary housing.
A total of 2,237 people used ANA Spirit Baths over 63 days (excluding users in the Self-Defense Forces). In addition, 885 volunteers applied to participate in the program, and 110 volunteers actually participated.

♦Forestation in Minami Sanriku
The ANA Group has been involved in planting greenery and trees around domestic airports since 2004, and entered into an agreement with Iriya Production Forestry Cooperative of Minami Sanriku, Miyagi Prefecture to create a new forest. On July 26, 2012, representatives from organizations including the Forestry Agency and the government of Miyagi Prefecture gathered at the Minami Sanriku municipal office for a signing ceremony. ANA Group employee volunteers will work with local residents to create a lush now forest named ANA Spirit Forest.
This lush forest has been created that will protect local ecosystem by not only absorbing CO2, but also retaining rainwater. Runoff from the forest will flow into Minami Sanriku’s Shizugawa Bay, supporting ocean vibrancy. We believe that the ANA Spirit Forest is something we can do today so that human activity preserves nature as it was in ancient times and passes it along to the next generation.
In addition, as a new approach, the Minami Sanriku factory of Frontier Japan Co., Ltd. will use wood thinned from ANA Spirit Forest to manufacture products. The ANA Group supports Frontier Japan’s efforts and community vitalization to help create jobs. The Group has asked this factory to manufacture gifts and other products from the thinned wood for the people of Minami Sanriku, including raffle prizes for spectators of the ANA Open Golf Tournament in September 2012. We want to increase opportunities for people to feel the warmth of the wood and deepen their affection for Minami Sanriku.
Activities such as the ANA Spirit Forest are part of the ANA Group’s efforts in cooperation with local residents and visitors for healthy, happy forests, ocean, skies and people in Minami Sanriku.

♦Support for Coastal Forest Regeneration Projects
As one long-term restoration support activity, the ANA Group endorses the objectives, supports and participates in the planning of the activities of the Ten-Year Regeneration Project of the Coastal Forests of Tohoku Region conducted by OISCA International, a public interest incorporated association.
The tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake devastated Tohoku’s coastal forests. The functions of coastal forests include protecting against blowing sand and wind and reducing the impact of tsunamis, thus serving the necessary role of helping to prevent disasters and protect the region’s living environment. With their loss, salt damage on the Tohoku coast is worsening day by day.
In late March 2012, people in the area around Natori, Miyagi Prefecture, which was hit by the tsunami, began planting Japanese black pine. The ANA Group will continue to provide support in various forms including volunteers who are removing underbrush and cleaning up the shoreline.
The ANA Group collects donations of air miles for OISCA International’s coastal forest Regeneration project. This helps people in the disaster area to cultivate seedlings in order to restore the beautiful scenery with rows of Japanese black pine in the coastal forests that were damaged by the tsunami.
An overview of the miles for coastal forest regeneration program is as follows:
Tohoku Coastal Forest Regeneration Miles (November 1, 2011 to December 15, 2011)
Participation: 371 Participants, 641 accounts, a total of 1,923,000 miles (equivalent to ¥1,923,000)
♦Sendai Airport Sunflower Planting Activities
The ANA Group is conducting various activities to encourage reconstruction with the aim of consistently being a “Reliable, Warm, Enthusiastic!” presence for people in the disaster area. One of these activities is planting sunflowers, which represent the ANA Character, at Tohoku area airports to bring that enthusiasm to area residents.
Prior to the full-scale resumption of domestic flights at Sendai Airport, we planted more than 800 sunflowers and other plants in the flower beds in front of the terminal building on July 20, 2011, restoring the flower beds turned brown by the impact of the tsunami with the “Enthusiastic!” power of sunflowers.

♦The Boeing 787 Soars above Sendai on a Flight to Encourage Reconstruction
On October 30, 2011, the ANA Group invited approximately 230 elementary school pupils from the cities of Sendai, Natori and Iwanuma and from Fukushima Prefecture, as well as children and their families from Minami Sanriku, Miyagi Prefecture, to experience a flight aboard the Boeing 787 before it began scheduled service.
Although the flight of about an hour was short, the passengers enjoyed the autumn skies of Tohoku, flying from Sendai Airport over Yamagata, Mount Chokai, Lake Tazawa and other points. The children looked out the large windows of the Boeing 787 when the captain announced scenery visible from the sky, referred to the route maps the cabin attendants prepared by hand, and enjoyed handling the equipment inside the new plane. All enjoyed their journey aboard the new aircraft.

At Fukushima Airport, Sukagawa City and their environs, the ANA Group is conducting activities in cooperation with local residents to promote industry and tourism in Fukushima. These include the creation of a heart-shaped sunflower field and a Boeing 787 flight to encourage reconstruction.
♦Sunflower Project 2012
Specifically, we held the Blooming Sunflower Project twice at Fukushima Airport in July 2011. Using farmland where rice could not be cultivated because of earthquake damage to water supply pipelines, we created a sunflower field in the shape of a heart visible from the sky. On July 23, 2011, 100 ANA Group employee volunteers worked with approximately 100 local residents to plant a 70 meter by 50 meter heart-shaped field of sunflowers on a slope beside the runway.
The planting effort, symbolizing the reconstruction of Sukagawa, grew out of the Fukushima Seed project to support Fukushima. The ANA Group will plant sunflowers at Fukushima Airport and environs while also cooperating in the Fukushima Seed project.
The ANA Group will continue to work with people from the disaster area in ongoing initiatives to help make Tohoku and Japan even a little bit more “Enthusiastic!”
♦Boeing 787 Flight to Encourage Reconstruction (Fukushima Airport)
On November 30, 2011, the ANA Group invited approximately 200 elementary school pupils from Fukushima Prefecture to experience a flight aboard a Boeing 787. It was the first airplane flight for many, and their beaming faces as they flew above Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture showed a sharp contrast to their tense demeanor prior to boarding.
On the same day, we held a fun event to which we invited approximately 60 local children and family members who worked with the ANA Group in summer 2011 at Fukushima Airport and environs in activities to cheer up Fukushima with blooming sunflowers.
The group got a close look at a Boeing 787 on the runway, greeting it with a loud cheer.
In addition, the group received in-depth insight into a state-of-the-art aircraft as flight and cabin crews conducted an Aviation Classroom and held a quiz competition, followed by a tour inside a Boeing 787 and a commemorative photo session.

♦Promotion and Sale of Products from Prefectures in Tohoku
As part of its initiatives to vitalize the Tohoku region, the ANA Group has been conducting intra-Group markets to sell products manufactured in Tohoku.
Aiming to support the region, which has suffered major economic impact from both earthquake damage and rumors, the ANA Group held the Fukushima and Ibaraki Support Marche in the Shiodome and Haneda areas on April 20 and 21, 2011. In addition, the ANA Group collaborated with valued partner Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd. to jointly hold the Ginza DE Support Marche at a space within Ginza Station on May 17 through 19, 2011.
Previous sales had been within the ANA Group, but the Ginza DE Support Marche sold goods to people walking through Ginza. Volunteers from the ANA Group and Tokyo Metro gathered to handle sales, and promoted products from the five prefectures of Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima and Ibaraki.
♦Charity Bazaar to Support Areas Affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake
Since 2007, the ANA Group and Asiana Airlines, Inc. have been conducting joint environmental preservation activities, mainly forestation. In the fiscal year ended March 2012, we held fundraising bazaars in three places – Shiodome, Haneda and Narita – to support recovery in the disaster area.
The bazaars sold goods provided by ANA Group employees along with products manufactured in Tohoku, korean oroducts donated by Asiana Airlines and other items. Asiana staff members and numerous ANA Group employees participated. The proceeds from the bazaars were donated to Central Community Chest of Japan and OISCA International.
