ANA targets FY2026 completion for cargo reorganisation as it seeks to leverage combined network capacity across North American and European routes
ANA Holdings is reorganising its group of cargo companies to accelerate growth following the integration of Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA).
The reorganisation of cargo business within the ANA Group has been initiated to maximise cargo synergies, accelerate decision-making, optimize cost structures and maximise profitability in the air cargo industry, explained ANA.
"Recognizing the cargo business as an indispensable pillar of the group's sustainable growth, ANA HD has conducted extensive analysis to define the optimal organizational structure to create synergies between ANA and NCA," said ANA.
"As a result, ANA HD has decided to begin considering and preparing for the reorganization of group-wide cargo business companies in order to further develop strong foundation."
"Further details regarding specific entities and the implementation plan will be determined as strategic evaluations continue," added ANA.
ANA completed the takeover of NCA from NYK in August. The acquisition positioned the group as Japan's largest combination passenger and cargo carrier.
Since the acqusition, All Nippon Airways and NCA have been utilising combined cargo capacity. All Nippon Airways and NCA launched a codeshare agreement on cargo flights between Japan, Europe and North America in October.
ANA's reorganisation is due to be completed by FY2026 and NCA is expected to maintain its Air Operator Certificate (AOC).
