    ALL Nippon Airways (ANA) suffered a 0.5 per cent decline in domestic air freight revenues to JPY30.7 billion (US$282.44 million), while international freighter-only operations achieved revenue growth of 5.8 per cent to JPY28.8 billion.

    This follows an announcement in March that the airline will purchase two Boeing 777 freighters in response to the "expanding market in Asia, China and North America." The same month the carrier signed a memorandum of understanding with Nippon Cargo Airlines to form a strategic business partnership, reported London's Air Cargo News.

    In its 2017/18 financial year statement ANA said: "In domestic cargo service, although ANA has been capturing steady demand for cargo connecting to international routes, ANA worked to increase revenues by serving non-scheduled cargo flights on the Okinawa-Haneda route during the period of high demand for flowers from Okinawa.

    "Overall, we saw slow demand as a whole throughout the fiscal year, and the decrease in volume of home delivery parcel services led to a weaker year-on-year performance in both cargo volume and revenues."

    It continued: "In international cargo service, automotive parts and electronics bound for North America and Europe showed steady growth.

    "Point of sale overseas, both volume and revenue from Japan increased year on year due to cargo from China and other parts of Asia bound for Japan performing well and capturing cargo from China to North America."

    In its outlook to March 2019, the airline stated: "As for cargo service, ANA will work to capture new demand by enhancing basic quality and utilising belly space of its extensive passenger flight route network."
