ANA plans to maximize its revenue by operating freighters and passenger aircraft for cargo operations amidst strong and continued demand, as the airline shifts its routes from Haneda to Narita. The company plans to use its fleet of 11 freighters to operate charter flights and additional flights apart from the regular schedule.
“By making changes such as the transfer of the Tokyo Haneda-Washington DC, Tokyo Haneda-Houston, Tokyo Haneda-Seattle and Tokyo Haneda-Vancouver routes to Tokyo Narita airport, ANA aims to accommodate demand for connections between Asia-North America while simultaneously maximizing the revenue per flight from both passenger and cargo operations,” the airline said in a statement.
From March 27 to October 29, the airline will use its 777F on the routes connecting Narita to Chicago, Los Angeles, Frankfurt and Shanghai, whilst the 767F aircraft will be deployed on the cargo flights to Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Shanghai and Beijing and other Chinese cities, including Dalian, Qingdao, Xiamen and Guangzhou.
