3. Overall Business
(1) Expand airline revenue platform and pursue optimized portfolio
For the International Passenger Service, ANA
Group will continue striving to provide customer
service/cabin product of the highest quality. As
for the Domestic Passenger Service, we will
continue our search for new demand together
with our group LCCs. ANA will further
strengthen the link between the two LCCs,
Vanilla Air and Peach Aviation. We also plan to
expand our LCC business further into
medium-haul markets. Taking full advantage of
having both FSC and LCC services, ANA
Group will continue to enhance its business to provide our customers a once in a life time experience.
① ANA International Passenger Service :
The core revenue generator of the ANA Group
1) Expand business from Tokyo Metropolitan Airports (Haneda and Narita)
In preparation for the planned slot increase in the Tokyo Metropolitan area in 2020, ANA will continue to
strengthen its business foundations through efforts to retain and train the talent that drives the
company’s competitiveness. At Narita, we aim to capture business travel demand between Asia and
North America, and at Haneda, inbound tourism to Japan from overseas.

2) Engage in partnership strategies, move into
un-served destinations (white spots)
ANA will also provide further convenience to both
Japanese and overseas passengers through
expansion and improvement of its international
group network, and also strengthening
partnerships with foreign airlines to cover
currently un-served destinations.
3) Roll out new products and services
ANA will also bolster its product and services
during the period. Japan’s first Airbus A380 will
be introduced on routes to Hawaii from spring
2019.
4) Introduction of new aircraft types
ANA will continue to improve onboard comfort for our passengers by introducing Airbus A380s, Boeing
787-10s, and Boeing 777-9Xs.
② ANA Domestic Passenger Service :
Maintain and improve core sources of profitability
1) Strengthen products and services
ANA will continue to introduce further Airbus A321 neo aircraft which equips personal seat monitors for
all. From the second half of FY 2019 onward, we will start installing seat monitors on Boeing 777 and
787 seats, the most popular aircraft on Japan domestic flights. ANA continues to offer new inflight
experiences by introducing free Wi-Fi and increasing inflight entertainment options as well.
2) Downsize aircraft to optimize supply-demand balance
ANA will maintain and improve profitability by optimizing the size of the aircraft in accordance with
demand trends and the competitive environment while also flexibly adjusting aircraft types in use. The
company will also further capitalize on Haneda airport’s international and domestic connections, utilizing
its Japan’s largest domestic network to contribute to the revitalization of Japan’s local regions.
③ LCC Service :
Strengthen relationships between Vanilla Air and Peach Aviation – Entering into
medium-haul LCC Markets
1) Expand short-haul routes : Develop new demand particularly on local routes
While developing independent businesses with Narita and
OSAKA/Kansai Airports as their main hubs, Vanilla Air and
Peach Aviation will work even closer to expand and entrench
their profitability base.
2) Enter medium-haul markets: Moving into currently ANA
un-served areas
In addition, by entering the medium-haul LCC competition, at
around 2020, Vanilla Air and Peach Aviation will capture
demand to/from Asian market place which is showing
3
remarkable growth. We expect the LCCs to play a role in ANA Group’s growth strategies, while also
contributing to Japan's tourist industry and the revitalization of Japan's regions.
④ Cargo Service :
Restructure Tokyo Metropolitan/Okinawa Cargo Hub Network
1) Tokyo Metropolitan (Narita/ Haneda) Hub Network
ANA Group will enhance the Tokyo Metropolitan Hub Network model by introducing large size freighters
in order to capture demand for cargo travel between the Asian continent and North America via Japan, a
route for which stable growth is expected over the medium-to long-term.
2) Okinawa Hub Network
In addition, ANA Group will also reorganize the network built around the Okinawa Cargo Hub, while
closely examining the competitive environment and demand trends, in order to further optimize the
functionality of this hub.
⑤ Aircraft Strategy :
Introducing new aircraft types
In the FSC business, ANA Group will optimize supply-demand balance on domestic routes. While also
ensuring the consistent acquisition of new aircraft types required for the expansion of the international
business, the Airbus A380s, Boeing 787-10s and Boeing 777-9Xs.
Also by the end of FY2022, ANA aims to have 80% of its fleet comprising fuel efficient aircraft*.
We also plan to introduce a new, small size medium-haul aircraft for the medium-haul LCC business to be
launched.
