Security Export Control*1

The ANA Group exports the parts, chemicals, apparatuses, and other articles necessary for aircraft maintenance to overseas airports and aircraft maintenance centers. Certain articles have the potential to be adapted to create weapons. Accordingly, we practice rigorous security export control of exported articles. A stringent security export control structure is maintained through once-annual audits and trainings. These activities target divisions that are considered exporters for being directly involved in exporting as well as divisions that are involved due to handling customs clearance and other transportation-related processes.

  1. *1.Security export control is a term that refers to all regulations placed on exports from Japan by the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act.

Response to Economic Security (Responsibilities as a Critical Infrastructure Operator) *2

As a critical infrastructure operator responsible for the aviation and logistics networks that support daily life and economic development, the ANA Group positions its response to economic security as one of its top management priorities. To ensure smooth and sustainable business operations even in a rapidly changing external environment marked by increasing geopolitical risks, we are steadily working on a cross-Group basis to maintain advanced security for vital facilities such as our systems, and to monitor and analyze geopolitical risk information.

  1. *2.Economic security refers to all initiatives aimed at comprehensively and effectively promoting economic measures related to ensuring national security, as stipulated in the Act on the Promotion of Ensuring National Security Through Integrated Implementation of Economic Measures (Economic Security Promotion Act). Among the four systems established by this Act, the aviation sector is defined as a critical industry with a legal obligation to ensure the stable provision of essential infrastructure services, and ANA has been designated as a "Specified Essential Infrastructure Operator."
