TOKYO November 14, 2006 - The pilot union of Air Nippon (ANK), a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of ANA, and the pilot unions of three other ANA Group airlines have threatened to take 24 hour strike action commencing midnight on Thursday, November 16, to express dissatisfaction with the management stance on their year-end demands regarding pay and conditions. The unions in question are: Air Nippon Crew’s Association, composed of 421 pilots; Air Nippon Network Pilot Union, composed of 48 pilots; Air Next Crew’s Association, composed of 15 pilots and Air Central Pilots’ Union, composed of 43 pilots.

The management of Air Nippon, Air Nippon Network, Air Next and Air Central will continue urgent negotiations with the unions to avoid a strike. If strike action is taken, many ANA* domestic flights will regrettably be subject to cancellation and/ or delay.
